Honestly, Ozpin could've wanted to stand back and wait for Ruby to get to Beacon on schedule at age 17, but then Cinder started stirring up trouble and the Grimm started getting more dangerous. The stuff they said in the vault about things getting "a lot scarier out in the world" wasn't about the Maidens, it was about the Grimm getting more hostile, Salem gearing up for a war ("not a war between nations"). When Qrow said they were running out of time, he didn't mean just the fact that Amber was on life support.

Ozpin needed his silver-eyed warrior soon. And then Ruby showed off her skills in public and encountered Glynda, who could have been after Cinder and Torchwick (seems the Shopkeep called the cops, considering the sirens that were heard during Roman's escape up to the roof). That was the perfect time to move Ruby up two years without her questioning why.
