If you're approaching this going "I bet I could get it cheaper after it's made" then you're missing the point.
Kickstarter is not and never has been a pre-order store. Stop treating it like one. It's a way for people to create things that would be extremely difficult for them to pull off otherwise.
Yes, there's a chance the expanded game won't get made.
Based on it's Kickstarter performance, I'd say it's highly unlikely that a publisher would pick it up because they're going to interpret it as a game that has no demand. If you want to pay more right now and wait 2 years on top of the risk of the full game never being made, then go ahead. But when the reward depends upon the condition that a developer picks up the game to complete it, then I'll wait for that condition to be met. I'll take common sense over "missing the point" any day.
But frankly, I'd say it's a slim chance. Comcept will have already done the lion's share of the work just by making the ~8-hour basic game and getting it out there. At that point they should not have difficulty finding a publisher willing to fund the other 12 or so hours of content and agree to let Comcept keep the IP.
Good luck with that.
