To answer your questions:
>Where does "I" come from?
The system has lost track of the subject (the government and ruling party) and put in "I" as the most likely candidate. This error is pretty dumb, to be honest, and no halfway competent human would make this mistake.
>What's the part of the sentence that follows it supposed to mean?
"entered the adjustment with the plan" is for ~案で調整に入る, which is quite difficult political lingo. The sentence should begin "the government and ruling party have entered discussions regarding (two different) proposals to raise the ..."
>each husband?
"Each" should be "[under] each plan"; the original omits the subject. Figuring out the meaning of それぞれ here would be hard for a lot of quite advanced Japanese learners, I think.
>funny, it translated 17年度 as meaning 平成17年
Actually this is the more common interpretation - if it didn't say 2017 earlier in the text this would be a pretty safe bet. I guess they don't do text-level analysis yet?

Anyway, I agree with what everyone else is saying - this is an impressive leap in making intelligible output for JtoE, but as a translator I'm not fearing for my job just yet.
