I had an idea when I was doing the 2014 references, but it's kind of annoying - though it does make everything work nicer.

What if Winter Soldier is mid/late February 2014...

Then Shadows/Heavy Is the Head is like July 2014, Making Friends is like October 2014, Face My Enemy/A Hen in the Wolf House is like January 2015. Now those time jumps are really not ideal, but...

This would mean that:
 * "One year ago" in May 2015, now refers to July 2014, which works much much better than October - that's only 7 months.
 * Simmons saying she'd known Skye for months, and Ward saying he lived with the group for months, would be more like 4½ months, which fits "months" better than 6 and 6½.
 * Winter Soldier still fits as "2 years after Avengers" - May 2012 to February 2015.
 * Civil War still fits as "2 years" after Winter Soldier - February 2015 to June 2016.
 * Talbot's reference to how S.H.I.E.L.D. evaded his people for "a whole Winter" actually fits. At the moment, April-October frankly does not fit at all, but February-July makes a lot more sense. It is now summer, and they evaded them for the end of winter and spring. This especially works if he means it like a binary summer/winter, which it seems like he could be referring to.
 * This does not clash with Maria Hill's birthday anymore.
 * The time jump between Repairs and The Bridge, and The Magical Place and Seeds, need no longer be so long. While currently not particularly an issue, it definitely makes it work nicer.
 * The weather is hot and sunny in Shadows. While this is not evidence by any means, it's just another thing that works a little nicer.
 * This still works for Daisy having known Koenig for three years in April 2017, going back to February 2014.
