Hi, Jay--

Will this get you closer to what you want?

\version "2.18.2"
fooBar = { s1 s4 \bar "|" s2 \bar "||" }
music = \relative c' { \compoundMeter #'((5 4) (2 4))
                                 \set completionUnit = #(ly:make-moment 5 4)
  c4 d e f g2
  \set completionUnit = #(ly:make-moment 2 4)
  a b4
  \unset completionUnit
  c c b a g2 f4 e d c b a g a b
}

shiftedMusic = \relative c' {
  \compoundMeter #'((5 4) (2 4)) c4 d e f g2 a b4 c c b a g2 f4 e d c b a g a b
}

\score {
 
  <<
    \compoundMeter #'((5 4) (2 4))
    \set Timing.beatStructure = #'(5  2)
   
    \new Voice = "theBarLines" { \fooBar \fooBar \fooBar \bar "|." }
     
    \new Voice \music   
    \new Voice \shiftDurations #1 #0 { \shiftedMusic }
  >>

}

\layout {
  \context {
    \Voice
    \remove Note_heads_engraver
    \remove Rest_engraver
    \consists Completion_heads_engraver
    \consists Completion_rest_engraver
       
  }
  \context {
    \Staff
    % \remove Time_signature_engraver
  }
}

i had to set, reset, and unset the completionUnit manually, doing it all in your music variable.  To prevent this from affecting the music with the shifted durations, i made a second variable, shiftedMusic.  i hope this helps!
