If Barry became too fast Eobard might of lost basiclly all hold over his enemy, as he held all the knowledge of how to train Barry to become fast enough that he can help him return to his time, but not fast enough to beat him.

A villain doesn't make the plan to use the hero's power to do something include making the hero surpass him to a degree that is uncontrollable, as that would endanger said villain.

Eobard only needed Barry to go like Mach 2 anyways and he had waited 15 years, waiting like 7 months longer isn't that bad.
