I think you have a very narrow view of how the creative process works. It is entirely possible to be both a trilogy and to be making stuff up as we go along? I mean, just because you plan to finish college in four years doesn't mean you can't change your major or swap classes around or take summer sessions or have to re-take classes that you fail.
Besides that, as long as you enjoy the series, what difference does it make? Just enjoy the game!

Are you really asking why have goals if you might change things as you go? Well, a goal gives you something to work towards. A plan is a structured way of achieving those goals. If those goals change significantly, the plan kinda has to change, but you can change your plans without affecting your goal.
To continue your example (if I'm reading it correctly): if you plan to finish in four years, but find that you can't, then you change your plan and fulfill as much of your goal as you can. Depending on the exact nature of your goal, of course. some goals can't be half-completed; they're all or nothing. With college, you'll either have to work even harder, change your plan so you can take other classes at other times, or apply for exemptions with your faculty so you can get a conditional degree award or whatever. And the entire time you're in school, you're writing research papers, doing assignments, completing projects, and also managing your time so you can go out with friends, work, date, have vacations, and have some leisure time without affecting your grades. And that is the "making everything up as you go" part of the college plan.
