They didn’t get picked up by TNT until after they filmed the series finale. After unexpectedly getting renewed, they filmed a new season 4 finale and pushed the already filmed finale back to the end of season 5. And JMS had to scramble to fill content now that half of it had already been used.
The first and third for sure, don’t think the second will be a significant factor.
