I have a weekly recurring event which is due Friday 17:00, but I can
only start working on it shortly before, say 2 h.

I would like it not to appear in the agenda until 15:00 at Friday, or it
could appear at Friday's agenda, with an extended timestamp (15:00), so
I know it has to be done later.

I could also be handled like this item:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
* TODO test4
  DEADLINE: <2009-07-06 Mo 14:00> SCHEDULED: <2009-07-06 Mo 13:00>
----------------------------------------------------------------------

In the agenda:

Monday      6 July 2009 W28
               8:00...... ----------------
              10:00...... ----------------
              12:00...... ----------------
     file.org:13:00...... Scheduled:  TODO test4
     file.org:14:00...... Deadline:   TODO test4
              14:00...... ----------------
              16:00...... ----------------
              18:00...... ----------------
              20:00...... ----------------
