If it's accepted that I spout my assumptions for a bit, then please try to understand it, before nitpicking on the details. Please read through the lines and look at the rough picture.

Largely follows up on Harostar's comment above, since she brings up the three major parts influencing the plan.

Aogiri was a stepping stone. Not only for Eto, but for Tatara as well and for a certain part also Ayato, Yamori & others as well. I'm still convinced Aogiri came into existence from every characters desire. It was a fundament or platform from which they could plan their revenge (=Tatara & Ayato & Eto), change (= Eto), find answers (=Ayato) or just simply get away with the desire and need to kill torture and abuse (=Yamori). An organization offers stability, reach & means to get things done more efficiently.

Eto's novel/book was exactly as Harostar meant, partially propaganda to create unrest. Divide CCG & V's attention, distract or create chaos. Which would make it easier for the chosen characters to move without to their plan being unmasked to quickly.

The last part is for a big part their emotional or moral standpoint. They most likely know they can bring about change themselves, but time was a much to risky factor. They could die in the middle of their plans, while passing it on assures the continuation of their work. Next to that they might both feel that they've been doing so many unspeakably horrible and brutal things, that they consider themselves at best the inaugurators/devisors/initiators of the plan, to ultimately pass it on to someone else to finish it, because they're morally speaking not as tainted as them, making that person more suitable to lead the beginning of a new chapter for Ghouls & Humans.

My assumptions, please read through the lines, there are no facts or things stating this with 100% clarity. But you can critique through your interpretation of Eto & Arima's plan and their mentality & emotional state towards it.
