Greg's ran a watch and you'll find out policy so far, I didn't really expect that to change. And as with the time skip itself it just makes sense to me.

First the aliens are going to have to find the Earth, which unless the Light sent the League with a map to leave behind, is going to take a while. Next the aliens are going to have to get here which even with faster than light travel and teleportation tech is still a job and a half.

Then we reach the stage we appear to be at now, recon and infiltration, because launching a blind assualt against a planet of billion who defeated them with just six people doesn't sound like a great plan.

Your likely to follow this with sabotage and a propaganda campaign which we also seem to be getting. Maybe then you can launch your invasion. :P My guess is five years prep for a planetary invasion is pretty reasonable.
