The people moving problem of Winsport is minor I think. From a security standpoint you want a few concentrated defensible venues with large outside perimeters. So having Stampede, COP and the University being the 3 locations where everything is cuts down on security costs.
I see Winsport as the small hockey venue for all Women's hockey that isn't US and Canada, Saddledome is your Figure Skating Short Track, and the New Arena is men's hockey and Canada/US Women's games.
The Curling answer is quite easy and can be found in the study. The Curling Venue uses the field house wherever it is build and is converted back to a field house once the Olympics are done like the Richmond oval was.
Though one should note that in the 4.6 billion dollar estimate it assumes that the Arena and Field House have been built with funds not included in that estimate.
Vancouver was set up this way with Pacific Coliseum, the University and GM Place. Then they built a 10k pop-up for curling. and a temporary Long Track Oval which was converted to a field house afterwards.
