I don't think it means months. The theory right now is that he means they have 16 more milliseconds(which is the usual game based term for ms) in the rendering calls due to the switch to DX11 in which to add effects and still keep an identical frame-rate.

That's enough time to add quite a bit of effects(and textures, hint hint) to the title--especially since most would agree that DX11 was probably being worked on along side DX9, it just wasn't finished by the time EA said "GET IT OUT THE DOOR NOW!".
