It's not a rule, it's a target. Doesn't matter how much money Toyota has (particularly being performance wise the car is basically frozen since last year) if you give the privateers enough rope they can all run 3:10s or whatever. The Ford GTs have more money in them than any of the LMP privateers, it doesn't make them faster.
Ideally they'd say they want privateers to run 3:15.000 in qualifying or whatever, but because you're dealing with moving targets with track changes, weather, testing regimes, etc. and only have that one test day it's just not that simple. You have to guess where they are from your known benchmark, which is the mostly unchanged Toyota.
