Error to continue mother's reunification services because of delay in psych report delineating proper services, where necessary findings to extend services beyond 18 months were not, and could not be made.

Time limits for services in W&IC 361.5 did not become operable until C was removed from custody of both parents; remand to determine whether to continue or terminate parents' services under then-current circumstances.

W&IC 361.5 time limits for reunification services start to run when C removed from all parental custody at disposition hearing, not when placed with noncustodial parent per W&IC 361.2.
