If the requirements are really just the ones you've mentioned, back-end wise it's dead easy to built. As for the interface, not so much. But perhaps you don't have to start from scratch → http://www.queness.com/post/656/10-beautiful-jquery-and-mootool-calendar-plugins > - do you think the time estimate is feasible? Yes. Should the requirements stay as such.
