A disabled Panama Canal delays Pacific reinforcement

What effect would taking the Panama Canal out early in the Second World War have on the Pacific War?

It would delay reinforcement and redeployment while the United States made restoring the canal a top Seabee and engineering priority.

Complete closure would force ships and supplies onto much longer routes between the Atlantic and Pacific. Some deployments and operational preparations would consequently slip by months. Reopening the canal would become a major American engineering priority, drawing heavily on construction battalions and other available resources. Thoroughly disabling the locks would itself be difficult, so the disruption would depend on the damage achieved and the time needed to repair it.
