I don't think it means anything for XIV development. Or any other SE game for that matter.
SquareEnix is a HUGE compnay. Like Electronic Arts huge. SE just puts "SquareEnix" on all their titles that they publish, sans Eidos, or games they publish in japan made by western devs.

You can't put SE as a dev in the same boat as you do Bioware, or Bethesda. As SE is a publisher that houses many dev teams. People have come to recognize the name Square and Enix for their quality in previous generations. So the SquareEnix names sticks to their games. Not the dev team that created the game.

SO if they push out FF at the rate of once a year, that means they will have 3 to 4 different dev teams working on each game so by the time team 2 is releasing thier game team 3 has a year of dev time left, team 4 has two years and team 1 is ayear into development with three years to go.
