Those options don't join up. If it's detected 40 years in advance, it has to be in solar orbit, and the THS of 2100 can build a terrifying amount of hardware in a few years. Any asteroid too big to divert with that much time would already be known now, in 2020.

Something from outside the solar system can be too big or too fast to be diverted, but it would hit Earth in 10 years at most after detection.
