Apparently PJ had only intended 2 movies. There wasn't supposed to be any love triangle with Tauriel.
The studio pretty much gave PJ no time for pre-plotting before demanding they start filming, then stepped in and demanded 3 films at the proverbial last minute, and also pretty much overrode a lot of the plotting and cutting.
And as comics have taught us, editorial plot mandates are all inevitably fails. *sigh*
