Sorry this wasn't clear earlier. The geocentric model did not allow the planets to vary in speed. Any such observational discrepancies were made up for by these deferent and ecicycle circles. The planets were thought to travel at constant speed, but their paths appeared to change as they made their way around the various circles.
