Disclaimer: This is all hypothetical.
Watching the trailer from last year its no secret that BioWare have been big fans of Mr. Nolan's Interstellar; a movie that hinges on the idea that humanity must be saved from a their extinction by literally going through time. The movie set this theme up via the idea of relativity of time which is something that occurs when time and space is warped from Earth's when you're on another planet because of the gravity (iirc). Time scales differently so you might age 300 years while your earthling friends have grown 7 years older.
We basically know that all council worlds and most hazardous planets in Mass Effect-verse don't follow the rules of relativity of time, or maybe we conveniently avoided all of the planets that affected this in relation to Earth and other visited worlds, but maybe the relativity of time theory only applies to Galaxies and between Andromeda and Milky Way there is a change.
In Andromeda the premise is smartly designed so we are traveling with old tech to a new galaxy using cryo-sleep for 600 years to a galaxy that might, in its own timeline, not be much more advanced in terms of civilization than ours were during the first days of interspecies encounters. This means if the timescale from Andromeda to Milky Way is that of 6:1 or similar, then when we reconnect back home perhaps in a second or third Andromeda title, we would meet the post-Reaper galaxy and bring Synthesis to Andromeda! Yaaaaaaay, didn't expect that, ditcha!?
