The creators were in constant touch with GRRM. They knew where he intends to go. The ending we got could be done better if things were fleshed out over a longer period of time.

You're assuming GRRM knows where he intends to go. Or more importantly, how he intends to get there.

We know he has a specific destination in mind. It's well established that he had an outline for what was originally a trilogy. It's why the first book is heavier with hints of (for example) Jon's lineage than the others.

How to get there has clearly changed, and GRRM might not know how anymore.
