I have a feeling this and Delta may have been planned at the same time. Similar to Macross Plus and Macross 7 being produced at the same time.
Originally Macross Plus as a concept had nothing to do with the Macross franchise. Big West convinced Kawamori to contribute story and mecha to what would become Macross 7. So Kawamori made a deal. You let me do my Top Gun with mecha I'll contribute to your 52 episode show a story and the mecha I wanted to use for Escaflowne.
Kawamori's original idea for Macross Delta, racing VFs powered by idol songs got canned by sponsors. Maybe we'll get that here in some form.
