Strange are the ways of INS! 
It might be for political reasons. When the INS shows that they are working on the 2003 cases, they can claim that they are working hard and that they are achieving the goal to reduce the I485 backlog.
In reality, they are a group of lazy people who are unable to process more than few files per day. The statistics show that starting from March 2002, over 50% (in average) of the cases are not approved yet and these bozos moved the date to Jan 2003!

The answer is easy - CIS wants to show progress in backlog reduction.
CIS has for a long time had a backlog in AOS cases. Part of CIS service center directors' job is to reduce the backlog. Don Neufeld had a perfect plan, one that's supposed to keep him employed for a longer time than he deserves - backlog will be reduced to 6 months by the end of September. However, that's not easy since the cases had been piling up for a long long time. Therefore, he concluded that if he can't show real progress, he'll show imaginary progress. Hence the bogus JIT.
Not to say that they are now approving at a faster pace, that's also happening. Someone once made an Excel-based "when will your case be approved" calculator, based on Kashmir's data I think. The dates for WAC03001 were years in the future. They did speed up, obviously.
