to answer your origonal question. halo2 is not going to be postponed, dont worry.
And the reason game companys usually are behind scedule and say to early of a release date, is because there is a fat money man with a blowtorch up there asses telling them to hurry. Therefore they are often over optamistic about when it will be done. Earlier release equals money sooner for the investors in the game company.
Also if the people making the game say they are doing bad right now and need another couple years to finish it, investors might lose hope and pull out all there money which would close the project entirley. So instead they people making the game keep saying it will be done in just a few more months, over and over until it actually is done.
(Im not sure if this is 100% correct, but I pretty sure it is.)
-edit-
nvm listen to shishka hes 100% sure, and his thing is simpler
