If I were to guess when Phoenix got his hands on XFA-27, it's between his duel with ZOE YF-23A and the start of the two-pronged advancement. It just feels more correct moving from Su-35 or F-22A to something more nimble and then using it till the very end. After all, Edge commented that the ZOE was as skilful as Phoenix during the duel. The Allied command must've caught wind of the fight and thought that the main man of the plan could end up getting killed later in the campaign if nothing more was done for him. Mind you that he still had to fight the next two ZOE planes later.
