Also in Civil War, Ross mentioned the Avengers had been operating for the last four years thus I concluded Civil War took place in 2016.

Also Vision, mentioned that in the eight years since Stark announced himself as "Iron Man", that Iron Man took place in 2009 as well as Civil War in 2016. I agree. There's a lot of issues in the timeline, but everything's been compromised to find the best solution now. Without the "8 years later", it could have just solidified as it was and continued to move forwards, away from Phase One (with the most issues).
