Bull-blam!-. If the covenant attacked on July 24th, whatever the force they were using, the invasion must be said to have started on that date.
So if they sent a single group of Zealots, that would be the day the invasion started?? Or a few ships to set up a beachhead?? Or just sent a couple of waves just to harass the enemy and probe for weaknesses?? I thought that when people refer to the invasion day...D-Day, if you will...that's when one side drops the really heavy end of the hammer on the other and launches a major push into their territory.

The worst of this isn't, of course, the logistic complications of source contradicting source within Halo. Much greater franchises have suffered from far worse, namely Christianity (ba-dum tish). But, it's particularly bad here because it shows a lack of caring.
Don't drag people's religions into this...I may or may not agree with you on those contradictions...but using a franchise that pretty much everyone agrees is fictional would make your point a lot better than telling people that their faith is merely a franchise. Or maybe you just don't care.
Now if Bungie didn't care, they wouldn't have spent so much time trying to retcon material and keep the books and the games in the same canon. They would just say, "Oh, yeah, we changed that. Deal with it." As you said, there's always going to be errors in a franchise...like in Star Wars, or Star Trek, or LotR, or Babylon 5...
