Michael was trained for years, some extra months could've never changed the way he was. Otherwise the training would have lasted for years. [/QUOTE]

Actually he says in this version of the script that he needed 4 more months to aquire ALL of Vito's political connections. I think, that no matter how long his training would have lasted, once his father died he knew that the moment that he prepared for was now here and that all that he and his father had planned over the years would finally take shape. No matter how much you prepare yourself for something, when the actual time comes, it is a normal reaction to get nervous and question if you've covered everything that needed to be done in preparation for your arrival to that moment.
