The problem with your reasoning is that at the time east of Euclid was NOT part of the "second system" provision.

I wasn't referring to the Euclid Ave station and tunnel complex, but all other subway projects for provision for new lines. A tunnel pocket and maybe some section of tunnel. No station built.

For instance, the current (E) train diverts off of the Queensboro line at Briarwood-Van Wyck station. the tunnel leading down to a new line was built and sat disused until it was connected the Archer Ave. line was built.

Since they were building this line, why didn't they build a station on Van Wyck Blvd ? Maybe they weren't sure of the IND Second System would be built.

I was always neutral on the 76th St. station controversy. it did make for some lively chat and divert us away from the flame wars that creep up here now and then. That being said, proof please, construction photos and/or some documented proof of subway station construction in that area.
