Well, what that means is the effect of a gravitational producing body propagates outwards at the speed of light. So if a planet suddenly shifted a couple au's in some direction, the time it would take for us to "feel" it is equal to the distance between us and the plant divided by the speed of light. It's not an instantaneous effect in other words. No signal or change can travel faster than the speed of light.
