I am not a big user of calendaring myself so the experts might see this 
differently, but IMHO this sounds like a good idea.
It looks to me like this is all about scheduling and keeping track of how far 
certain tasks have been completed.

Another thing you should probably have a look at is KPlato

http://koffice.org/kplato/

Maybe it is a mixture of both. In which case Akonadi integration for KPlato 
might also be an interesting GSoC idea ;)

Cheers,
Kevin
