A game can be in development for five years and still be rushed.
If they miss deadlines, things get put on hold, or things take longer than planned no matter what the dev cycle is a game can be rushes.
Those above three things happen all the time and there are even more things that could happen. I'm not saying the game was rushed, I actually know nothing about it, I'm just saying that just because the game was in development for 5 years doesn't mean it couldn't be rushed.
