It's not. Truth is we've got no idea, and anything you hear is only hypothesis.

Here are some 'hypothesis-es' then...
It's going to come out in 2002...

What We Want to See: Civilization III
Hasbro Interactive announced Civilization III with great fanfare at last year's E3. Unfortunately, that was probably a bit premature. Civ
III is going to happen; however, it's a safe bet that the project won't see the light of day until 2002. One problem is that Firaxis is
committed to developing its dinosaur game for EA before it can fully concentrate on Civ III. The other, much larger issue is the mass
defection of talent--including Civilization II and Alpha Centauri designer Brian Reynolds--to Big Huge Games. The good news is that,
with Reynolds's departure, Sid Meier is actually going to design Civ III. The bad news: we're gonna be waiting a long, long time.

Just for the record, no one at Firaxis (that I am aware of) has ever said anything about Civ III coming out in 2002. We have not announced an official release date yet.

Optimist would say Q3-Q4 2001.

Pessimist would say Q2-Q3 2002.

No official release date has been given by Firaxis.

Blizzard would say Q1 2003 (Warcraft III just got delayed again... )

damn. The last I had heard (several months ago) was that it would be released spring 2001. Well, thanks for crushing my undue optimism.
