He ran into a combination of issues I think. When you spend a lot of time developing the relationship between Kogarashi and the various sub-heroines, it gets harder to handle them losing decently. You reach a point where your realistic options are either a harem end, an open ending, or leaving a lot of readers disappointed and unhappy. Miura likely originally planned for a Yuuna end, and didn't sufficiently revise his plans as the series went on and things changed, leading to the current problem. He didn't want to leave fans of the other girls with nothing, so he incorporated the various "If" futures, but still tried to lead from into a Yuuna end, which was a major mistake. The net effect is that Yuuna has made the other five girls sacrifice and continue to suffer the loss of their happy future with Kogarashi for the rest of their lives, so that she can be with Kogarashi instead of any of them. To add insult to injury he had the one girl who'd been all for a harem change her personality at the last second to be "harem bad" to help deny a harem end and make the ending less open to speculation. Few of the fans of the sub-heroines are going to like that sort of ending. A fair number of the fans of the heroine probably won't be all that happy that she effectively won by screwing over her friends either.
It's possible as well that Miura got screwed over on time by his publisher, or through his editor they insisted on a non-harem ending. But I don't think that would change the root issue that tried to have his cake and eat it with the "If" visions, while continuing to go for a solo Yuuna end long after the story past the point of no return for anything but a harem end being broadly satisfactory.
