I am just making this up, but I don't think Airbus has a very specific delivery schedule for the NEO as it hasn't even finished certification yet. In fact, they only just started flight testing on the 320 with the CFM Leap engine. I haven't read anything that suggests they are running into any delays, but 2016 delivery dates seems soon considering flight testing just began.
But, maybe they do have a tentative delivery schedule. I've never been able to find it. I also have no idea the rate of deliveries. One a month? Two a month? No clue. It may also depends on how quickly they can ramp up production at the new factory.
