They have a production schedule set out ahead of them, but then, for example, James Gunn wanted to set Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 2 months after the first, setting it further back. And then Sony or whoever wanted Spider-Man: Homecoming to be just after Captain America: Civil War. And the story they wanted to tell for Black Panther involved him returning home. They're not going to change their production/release schedule for the timeline, but they want to tell certain stories that happen to arrange the timeline out of order.

I think they don't mind, as the ones where it comes together are still in order. Like, there's these milestone/tent-pole ones with the Avengers films and arguably something like Civil War where there's a huge number of characters coming together, and all the ones in the middle happen in a muddled order but we know when we see the characters again that chronologically, it is after their last film.

When we were making notes for the episodes, in the hidden text on each bullet point I was working out the timings. The version before it was edited with those bullet points up to Episode 8 (haven't made notes for Episodes 9 and 10 yet) can be seen [here http://marvelcinematicuniverse.wikia.com/wiki/User:Marvelous_345678/Inhumans,_Agents_of_S.H.I.E.L.D._Season_Five_and_Runaways_(2017-2018)_Timeline?action=edit&section=367]. By the end of Episode 8, Fitz has been there for roughly 4 days 1 hour 30 minutes, the team have been there for roughly 1 day 19 hours 44 minutes.

The team left in May 2017 and Fitz left in November 2017, and they'll be returning likely somewhere between November 2017 and May 2018, so in terms of their time away from Earth, the team will be about 9 months and Fitz about 3 months.
