^ Yeah, that's what I was talking about. He had many ideas how to start new plot lines and character development, but didn't know how to conclude them. So he just gave up and over-simplified the second half of :re so that he can at least finish it in some way.

Since he introduced so many new characters in :re he just had no idea how to create place for the original cast. That's why they were degraded to some goat minions without any real role.

It doesn't seem to me at all like Ishida planned the complete series thoroughly. The last eight arcs are so lacking in creativity if you compare them to the original series. Someone who plans out how he is going to finish his series wouldn't come up with arcs so devoid of complexicity and creative ideas while writing the indeed complex and creative original series.

After Kaneki's memories came back there wasn't much creative development in my opinion. At the latest after Arima's death Kaneki became just a standard good guy who leads a good organisation against a standard bad guy and his evil organisation. If that's all Ishida came up with after planning it thoroughly then he just hadn't any ideas left.

All fans were waiting for the moment Kaneki finally regains his memories and the circle gets closed. They wanted to see how :re and the original series would come together with Kaneki meeting Amon, Touka/Hinami meeting Akira, Anteiku crew meeting Quinx and such. Yet all of that was underwhelming, instead the story just got rushed towards a confrontation between Kaneki and Furuta.

Blaming all of that on schedule is an easy thing to do. But I am sure, if Ishida really had great plans and wanted to finish his series the way he wants to then he could have done so. There was no need to chose the easy way out with such a standard happy end.
