The test results showed a quite more

20ps and 80ps. Interestingly, some were close to 0ps, for which
we have no explanation good explanation.

Any on-chip PLL's with "spread-spectrum" to fudge EMI tests ?

Nope, the cyclone4 PLLs do not support spread spectrum.
Also, the 0ps positions were stable (suggesting some FPGA
internal feature to be the cause), but they weren't evenly
spread over the delay chain.

The timing report and estimator is just to make sure that a synchron design will work. The type of jitter/noise that you see is kind of typical. It's not that I don't like FPGA, I love it, but I just don't trust it for precision timing like that.
