Good point. If I recall correctly, the progression was:
- 15 years ago: Ala Mhigo conquered. Advance halted by appearance of a primal. Garlemald consolidates occupation and digs in.
- 10 years ago: The battle for Silvertear Skies. Midgardsomr bites the dust and opens the floodgates for the domestic primals.

Didn't the incident at the Citadel happen 15 years ago? since Dalamud was Bahamut and the two Garlean Lagatus seemed to know/had a good idea what Dalamud really was could they have halted their advance because of the appearance/realization surrounding Bahamut?

The Citadel happened ten years ago, around the same year as the Battle of Silvertear Skies.

All I can find about it so far is that they gathered all of the information they had from Allag, built some testing facilities to work on its technical legacy, activated a lunar transmitter, and then as soon as it was all together - boom - whole city lost.

It is strange that this happened around the same time, you're right about that. However, from what I can gather about the Bozja Citadel incident, The Emperor was pleased with the demonstration of its power, and that's what scared Cid enough to leave.
