The average Pokémon game has two years or more of development and multiple games are developed at the same time (hence all the A-team and B-team talk you used to see but don't anymore) but in the ORAS guidebook interview they mentioned they only spent one year on the game, also mentioning that this is a shorter dev cycle than usual for Pokémon.
There's the possibility that they started working on Z before ORAS came out in which case it would already have longer than one-year of development but I personally want to make sure of that by them holding off the release longer to ensure quality.
