Baike says it's controversial when it was written, but it looks like all the suggestions post date the reign of Zhou Wen wang. The preface blurb says it was Zhou gong (son of Zhou Wen wang) who led the effort, to commemorate the completion of a city.
It also says it's controversial if it's actually a sacrifice to Wen wang, or if he's just symbolically an ancestor, but Baike comes down on the side of specifically for Wen wang.
