Unless I'm being blind and stupid, I'm not seeing where it says why the runway was moved. Also, what was LAX using before if they didn't have a ramp control.
Lots of new construction at klax.
I. Additional the new Midfield concourse, the next round of construction adds concourse 0 east of terminal1and a new terminal east of "thebox' east of terminal 8.

And this article nails it. From that article:
On Tuesday, the BOAC will consider the final Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the ongoing Airfield and Terminal Modernization Project (ATMP) and plans to add new expansion. This includes the construction of a new Concourse 0.
Concourse 0 will extend out of the eastern side of Terminal 1. This concourse would contain 11 narrowbody aircraft gates. Nine of these are new gates, or net additions, to the airport’s gate availability.
Terminal 1 is where SWA has its domestic terminal (they come into T4 or T2 for all flights from Hawaii). Concourse 0 will be to the east of that, so they are adding an entire ramp area and extending Taxiway E over to that, which causes 24L to also be moved east.
Reference the green on the north side of the field.
Plus they are adding two more highspeed turnoffs: one off of 24R, and one off of 6L, so there is a LOT more work that is going to be done. FSDT is actually doing the right thing here in waiting until the construction is done, otherwise a V2 will turn into a V5 or V7 by the time construction is done; in fact, they're planning on this taking another 4-5 years, and that's just to prep for the Olympics in 2028.
EDIT: Actually, they aren't adding any highspeeds. They are getting rid of the highspeeds off of 6L and 24R, so the reverse is being taken off. This would add to more taxiway and runway changes that would have to be redesigned as well for any developer making scenery for KLAX.
