It sounds like they wanted an Infinity War/Endgame - but in two and 1/2 hours. Infinity War was about 3 hours, and Endgame was 3 1/2 hours = 6 1/2 hours. Also both films had the build up of about six to seven movies prior.
Or they'd have settled for an Age of Ultron, I suppose - which from their point of view would have been hugely successful.
My guess, is you are most likely right - there was pressure from above to get the film released on time. Remember what came out in the spring of 2018? Infinity War. Marvel was dominating the box office. WB knew that coming out with Justice League at the same time as Infinity War or Endgame - 2019 - would be a big mistake. I think they were trying to get their film out of the gate prior to the other two films?
