I assumed that the wings were a spin-off of the Iron Man suit. The Air Force did actually have Rhodey's to work off from IM2 onward. They've had years to put it into action, Sam to have his second tour where his friend died, and for Sam to have left the military. Also, since Steve and Natasha didn't know about it (and I think they'd be at least aware of a wingsuit if it had been in the press), maybe it was still in the experimental stage, with just a few of the para-rescue squads trying them out.

We don't have a great timeline for the MCU, but based on the filmbuff timeline: Iron Man 2 (and Rhodey getting the suit) was supposed to be in 2010 (based on the Grand Prix in that movie) while Captain America 2 is supposed to be set in 2014. That's less than four years for them to design the wings, create them, issue them to pilots, and have Sam Wilson return from a tour as a Pararescueman. It's not impossible, but that's a really narrow window for something that would have been not even an idea in Iron Man 1. Even with a working Iron Man suit, it seems really unlikely.

It's only a narrow window if they hadn't already been working on something similar - not in the field but in R&D. It's a pretty solid idea. Then the difficulty they had tracking a person-sized flyer in IM1 gave the project steam, IM2 ironed out the last of the engine issues then Falcon could have been in the air almost immediately after that.
