If they make the jets, it will take time to manufacture them, and then test them. This is a considerable amount of time. With J-10 or another platform that is common to both forces, they can simply send from their stocks. Which, as @MastanKhan pointed out, is not possible because PAF will need time to operationalize a new platform.

They can make faster then we can dream of sir. Chinese speed is Super

I think this is a bit of a pipe dream. You may have a jet but you need trained manpower to run and maintain it. You need to develop techniques to use the platforms to their best capability and that cannot happen if you just fly them by the by. If we buy J10s now it will take upto 5 to 8 years to get them in a shape where we can effectively utilize them. This is why we need to think of how we are going to manage the upcoming situation.
By the way why does no one think that China has an assembly line for JFT and can assemble them a lot quicker and these platforms can be utilized a lot more effectively than the j10s.

I think the reason is they don't want any force to be able to challenge the Israeli Air force. The Jewish Caucus in US wants to feed the Egyptians toothless tigers to keep them happy while knowing fully well they are well looked after in case the tiger turns side.

They may well have to manufacture them in emergency. In case of a war Kamra will be targeted initially.
