I apologize for the incorrect answer. Without further context or information, it is difficult for me to determine the specific reason why the timing of the protest continued to change.

I apologize for the confusion. In the "Letter from Birmingham Jail" by Martin Luther King Jr., the timing of the protest continued to change primarily because they were negotiating with the leaders of the economic community. This can be seen in the following excerpt from the letter:

"Then it occurred to us that Birmingham's mayoral election was coming up in March, and we speedily decided to postpone action until after election day. When we discovered that the commissioner of public safety, Eugene "Bull" Connor, had piled up enough votes to be in the run-off, we decided again to postpone action until the day after the run-off so that the demonstrations could not be used to cloud the issues. Like many others, we waited to see Mr. Connor defeated, and to this end we endured postponement after postponement. Having aided in this community need, we felt that our direct-action program could be delayed no longer."
