It's not clear that it's really about anything. Nearly everyone in charge seems to just be going through the motions, filling their assigned role, without stepping back to think about what the goals are or how they can best be achieved. CDPH says that they authorized these clinics to begin setting up on December 28, which means with the standard 2 week lead time they could open on January 11 - the obvious question of why there should be a 2 week lead time, why vaccinations can't begin the very next day, does not appear to have been acknowledged or addressed.
