There is this Craver mission where a bishop overseeing a planet dies and you have to grow fast enough so that another one could spawn and take his place.

I got this mission in a single planet system and I had to increase it's pop by 2 in the next 10 turns!

The planet's growth rate would give me another pop in 23 turns because I still had infrastructure to build.

Is there really a way to do that? Am I missing something?
