"a.t.b. 2017" is seemingly one of the few real pieces of information we've got on the new project so far. That someone on LJ wrote "apparently the story takes place in Europe, 7 years after the beginning of the series" does not, in my opinion, suggest that "a.t.b. 2017..." is wrong and that gaiden is really set during a.t.b. 2024. I think it's more likely that the one who wrote that thought of a.t.b. 2010 as the beginning of the series, probably due to the fact the very first thing that is shown in Stage 1 is a "flashback" that shows us Lelouch and Suzaku, in a.t.b. 2010, playing outside while it explains what happened that year with Britannia's invasion of Japan and how the superiority of their KMF forces made it a devastating defeat for the defenders.
I agree with konart; side stories usually take place at the side of the main story, not 6 years after.
