The entry at Universal Edition, which has published the arrangement, does not give the date, but it does tell us that it was first performed in Trento, by the Mahler Chamber Orchestra under Philipp von Steinacker, on 25 March 2010 - apparently eight years before it came into existence.
In a recent broadcast of this arrangement by members of the RAI National SO under Biagio Zoli, the arrangement was said to have been made in 2008, so I imagine this is correct.
It is possible, of course, that the new recording uses a 2018 revision by Simon of the arrangement. For whatever reason, RAI had 17 players while the new recording has 16.
