Just in case everybody missed this.
The Project *began* in 2491. Then there's research, development, then you have to raise the bloody kids for fifteen odd years to create your Spartan Super Soldiers. The dates sounds about right.
You can't just whip up super soldiers over night, there's bionic implants to design and test, then there was the genetic experiments. That alone is going to take many many years. About 10 years of development say plus about 15 years of genetic augmentation on your five year old children abducted into the program sounds about right to get the Soldiers out by 2517. The Spartan II's were STARTED in 2517 which means they were abducted then. So what happened from 2491 to 2517? Well...errr...the Spartan I tests of course! Think about it, they tested out the training for all those years to see what they could get, liked the results and the next time they had th earmor and the augmentations ready for the Real Spartans. The Spartan I's in 2491 were a test to see if the training for 15 years would actually help them out in there real quest.
