The full form of FTD is For The Date.

“For the date” doesn’t sound like a good way to express “as for the date” or “as far as the date of the party is concerned.” You need “as” in those remarks.

A date for a date is a common term in technology companies for the date by which you expect to have determined another date. It sounds as though in your meeting you were determining many deadlines for many tasks, and that this determination was itself challenging or time-consuming, and so a deadline had been set for the task of determining the other deadlines. In other words, your group expected to finish assigning all the deadlines by January 2015, even though presumably some of those deadlines would themselves be later dates.
