The prepared theme
The thing that throws me about this sentence is this part.
[...]水面上に出てきたに過ぎません
'It just surfaced (at this time)'. This suggests that it was unexpected. I would appreciate a full paragraph or at least a little bit more background information. I think I could help if I knew a bit more about whatever it is that this 'theme' is and how the 'timing' is relevant.
At the moment, the best I can do is:
'The prepared theme' or possibly 'the developed theme'
Most sources seem to indicate that 'prepare' or 'train' are the most commonly used meanings.

Although 漢字 is different, I'm pretty sure that 仕込まれた comes from 仕組む. http://dictionary.goo.ne.jp/jn/95382/meaning/m0u/

If the theme is an unfavourable one, you can use "set up". Otherwise, "arranged" or "organised" would be fine.
