Yes, considering Itachi's whole role to be changed from being actually evil in part 1 to being actually not evil in secret by part 2(from what I heard) there's gotta be alot of mistakes in it. Like,

Itachi's wish for Sasuke to decide his crime and actually kill him and become a hero. But at their second encounter, he just sweeps away an attack that Sasuke believed to be enough. Why did he not just take in the attack coming and just say something like, 'I underestimated your power Sasuke'

I guess you could say that he worried of Kisame killing Sasuke but by the time of Jiraya coming he should have done something.

@BrainBrad. It's obivious that there was a plan. Tsukuyomi and every other genjutsu is done by controlling the victim's chakra control, and tsukuyomi is one of it's most powerful version, so it's obiviously gonna disturb Sasuke's normal chakra flow, the same chakra that he is using to hold off Orochimaru.and at a situation of his mind/brain being damaged he would have no other choice to let out Oro like he did when he had no chakra left.

In my opinion there are like other goals that can achieved with Sasuke being affected by Tsukuyomi.

1. the first would be as @BakumatsuWarrior said. To actually succesfully damage Sasuke thus also bring out Oro( I think). and as he said Itachi doesn't have enough chakra or time to play with Sasuke. He would actually have planned this whole fight possibily from their second encounter.

It seems Itachi was trying to make Sasuke unconscious so Orochimaru could get out of him, seeing that Oro was able to get out of him when Sasuke had no chakra to suppres him. And so by that, he could have very well used Tsukuyomi to disturb Sasuke's chakra control and thus allow Oro to get out and then seal him. It would actually explain why Itachi used Amaterasu on Sasuke. so he could lose control of Oro when he is in a almost death state. so Oro getting out to save his vessel would be also possible.

2.If are thinking hypothically, Itachi could have used the oppurtunity of Sasuke being unconscious from Tsukuyomi's effects with the actual goal of his tsukuyomi of his to extract Oro with a jutsu, much like Sasuke did with Anko. considering that Itachi would research about ways to save his brother from Orochimaru.

3.Maybe he just wanted to disturb Sasuke's chakra source, like using Tsukuyomi(mind/Spiritual) to damage his brain and using tsukuyomi to damage his body(Body/physical energy/stamina) thus fully disfunction his chakra flow(its a stretch but still) and thus Oro could get out of it while it's happening.

4.He could also have wanted to seal that amaterasu seal on Sasuke. wouldn't it have been easier at that time. And seeing that his final death was him actually dying because of some unexplained reason at that time, how exactly would he be dying by Sasuke hands then?(I guess I'm not making any sense here)

5.If Itachi's aim for tsukuyomi was just some basic genjutsu level technique,then why wouldn't he just used MS genjutsu? I mean why should he even waste such high amount of chakra for just a plain trick?

6.Finally about Itachi's genuine shock could be, if by going with that he purposely wanted sasuke to escape from a powerful tsukuyomi(to get his mind tired in the process too) then it probably be that he was shocked by sasuke escaping that easily. I mean he might have expected some major difficulty in Sasuke breaking out of it or did not expect sasuke breaking out of it this fast.

7. Sasuke's control over Oro was not him being unconscious but him losing his chakra or even lose his mind through Tsukuyomi would obiviously cause Oro to be able to get out, since sasuke wouldn't have any good control over Oro if he is suffering from brain damage. and it would be the best way to lure Oro out too, considering he was waiting for the moment where sasuke is defenceless.

@Kakashi. Yes,Sasuke defended Naruto,Sakura and Kakashi from IT, though we can also say that he himself wouldn't need to defend himself,but since there wouldn't be any other logical way of Sasuke defending his team, he had to use it. and I was only using this as an example to show someone that even the strongest genjutsu can be broken free or resisted/defended.
