What is "still being designed" supposed to mean? Historic platforms were also at one time "still being designed". I don't understand your point.
As far as the design, the SLS is undergoing component and scale level testing; a necessary part of development. The current plan is to launch Orion with the SLS in 2017. There certainly could be delays, but you are making it sound like the endeavor is impossible.
