I'm with Minka, don't wait for the outdoor enclosure. There are too many uncontrollable variables outside and you just can't be there 24/7.
I wouldn't bother sitting by the carrier with food in it any more (if she hasn't done it by now, she probably won't- that's been my experience). If you can get her happy and letting you pet her, scruff her and put her in the carrier. It may set you back a few steps, but it will be worth it once you've got her.
Good luck with Lucas. Have you tried using lavender and feline calming scents about the house? It helped with my anxiety-prone maine coon.
