I don't know the exact timeline. However, the settlement would have been done between the government's legal council and Khadr's. The government's lawyers likely had a range that they were approved to offer, and once it's accepted it's not like they can say "wait, backsies until the Prime Minister is back in the country." They're professionals and just want to close the case as timely as possible.
Is it possible that the government was then waiting until Trudeau was back in the country to make the announcement?
I also heard that they were waiting until after the Canada 150 festivities were over.
So I don't really know, nor do I have a full thought out theory/opinion on the timing of the situation.
