The calendar shown is kind of the ideal they try to maintain. The frequency of leap days is primarily to keep the week aligned with ɲælɑ's lunar phases, so the new moon is at the start/end of the week, and the full moon is in the middle.
If the calendar is getting annoyingly out of sync (particularly the solar year/seasonal calendar - leap day should be at the end of summer/beginning of fall) then the Astronomy Council decides how to shift things to sync them back up appropriately, either of their own volition or by being petitioned by the people to do something about it, and is responsible for disseminating the new calendar information.
For example, if ɔkɑtɑ's new moon is shifting so it's closer to the end of the second week instead of end of the third, then they might say this month only has 2 weeks so next month actually starts around the new moon like it's supposed to.
If leap day is too early in the summer, they might say this year has 21 weeks, and move leap day a week later so it's seasonally at the right time, then resume its frequency of every 20 weeks.
If an extra week, etc. is added this way, its name is the duration term with -dæ affixed. So the 21st week (ɲæteɪ) would be ɲæteɪdæ.
