Problem
The Venom is stated to have been designed in response to Takashi Kurita ordering a major production increase to replace losses from the Clan Invasion. This began, for the Inner Sphere, in March 3050 per the timeline on page 14 of Era Report: 3052. The first Venom walked off the production line in January of 3050.
Solution
Either change the production date or when Nikamachi began development work.
