Fairy tail has been REALLY going downhill for me...
To me it was totally obvious the dragons were gonna come out of the door... like right when they brought it up, everyone kept saying the dragons were gonna come, but nobody knew from where... where else could it have been but the door? -_-
also the whole thing with the cannon is a load of crap, maybe i missed it but i found no explanation as to why they knew there was a cannon behind the door... there just was. and again, maybe i missed it, but there was also no explanation to how they knew how to use the damn thing. HOW did they know it needed to be charged? Where did they get all this information? all seems very contrived to me.
this whole arc has honestly been pretty crappy in my opinion, this whole series even. it seems like whenever theres a plot hole, mashima just covers it up by saying "someone from the future told them" or "they just happened to have the specific kind of magic right for the job" or "eh, who the fuck cares, just plaster fanservice everywhere and then nobody will notice" -_-

I don't know the details very well, but I thought they had quite a few lengthy discussions about the Eclipse project. Wasn't the initial purpose of it to make a tool that can control time so that they can defeat Zeref before he became immortal, as that captain said? But I think somewhere in the Grand Magic Games "future Rogue" came and psyched the princess into thinking there's 10000 dragons coming and there's a cannon behind it to defeat them.
Point is, I don't think there's any plot hole here. However, I do think anything to do with time travel in fiction without a clearly defined set of rules and detailed explanation(limitations, parallel world lines, etc) is treading dangerous ground, in the sense that you either have to make that the central focus of the entire story(like Stein's gate, Noein etc), or you should just avoid using it altogether. Or else it's just plain dumb.

Rogue's hot, I'm not even going to try and deny that lol.
I feel like he's a bit rip offed from X-men's Rogue. Dat name, dat black and white hair, dat power-stealing. x.x
