Say something like 'Whoops I misjudged the energy and calculations needed in jumping back in time while simultaneously warping to a similar spot in another Shard and over shot it by a few decades'.
Or, depending on how far forward or back in time Enigma can see, it could have been to deliberately shape Crystarium's creation. We know that there's a prophecy about the Warrior of Darkness appearing to bring back the night, and the Tower's doors opening and the WoL striding out would be a great way to inspire people and hopefully ensure access to the resources the WoL would need to get the ball rolling. It would also create a free city for survivors of the Flood, since Eulmore is obviously rotten and the other regions are suffering.
