Agreed.  That area of the table needs some work, and is not fully consistent on the distinction.  It came about because "scheduled" (which was formerly the word used in all future launches) was both clearly incorrect and also unsourced for many of the rows in the table.  

When I looked at a bunch of the sources about a month ago (2015-02-14), for most of the far future launches, the most one could say is that they were "under contract"; while some of the very near term future launches (one to three ahead in the queue) were both clearly "scheduled" and also scheduled with the particular local and national authorities to make the near term date have some meaning.  So that is what led to my attempt to improve the article by having a three-way distinction: 
 "Scheduled (with range & launch license authorities)"
 "Scheduled"
 "Under contract"

It appears that most of that bold edit was left, and has remained, while some parts have been modified by other editors.  I'm not tied to any particular worlds right now; I just want whatever article statement made in the table to be correct and verifiable by one of the cited sources provided in that particular row of the table.  

I am happy that you brought the topic up on the Talk page.
