Robert, Is the intent to replicate the look and format of the document or simply report the data? To replicate the look of the form will take longer (for conversation I'd say at least 2 - 3 times longer). As for assembling the data that will depend on whether it's readily available already or not. And if you have to write an interface to accommodate users defining the query parameters and such that becomes a non-trivial task in itself. So I'd guess somewhere between a long afternoon and a week.
And I agree it would be good to obscure the identifying information. I'd suggest you do that right away.
