TheWoWDBCouldn't figure out how to change outposts as Foreman Grobash didn't give me anything. I figured out you need to finish the rest of the main quests in Talador first. I used btWQuests Draenor to track what Im missing and show where to pick up the missing quests. Once you've finished all other Talador quests go back to Grobash and he'll give you an option to pay 5k gold for buildings. The drafting table will appear next to him on the ground in the building entrance. Choose the arcane building and this quest will become available.

By tacololo in the alliance quest : I could not get this quest and the follow up and searched and searched until I realised that you can only get this quest if you chose to create the arcane building.
Posting here as it solved it for me - thx tacololo
Confirmed. If you chose [spell=164399] over [spell=161768] and did not select the Arcane Building during At Your Command then An Audience With The Archmage will not be available to you.

Description
Your Arcane Sanctum is coming along nicely, commander. Everything's built to spec... except for one detail Gazlowe scrawled in at the bottom of the blueprint. "Don't forget to connect the sanctum to the ley line network!" I, uh... I have no idea how to do that. I'm sorry commander, but magic just isn't my thing. We did spot Archmage Khadgar and some Kirin Tor not far from here. To the east, up near the mountains. Maybe we should ask them for help?
Where to go
Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

It's nice to see someone else taking a vested interest in the arcane arts, you know. It's all too rare these days if you ask me! Unfortunately, I must meet Cordana to handle an important matter, but we're in luck!
