Can you share your setup once it is working as you want it?

What you are doing is much more complex (and useful) than what I used
EFFORT for and I would like to check whether I can adapt part of it.

I usually plan with a gantt chart in a plantuml code block:

#+begin_src plantuml :file THE-TITLE-gantt.png
@startgantt
title THE TITLE
saturday are closed
sunday are closed
2023-08-02 is closed
<style>
ganttDiagram {
  task {
    BackGroundColor GreenYellow
    LineColor Green
    unstarted {
      BackGroundColor Fuchsia
      LineColor FireBrick
    }
  }
}
</style>

This doesn’t have the nice org-mode integration, though.

Best wishes,
Arne
