Um...no.  I'm not trying to pry into your requirements, but I *am* 
telling you that your requirements must make sense, or else your project 
is doomed.

You are being asked to build an F-16 with your choice of a bicycle or a 
moped as engine.  Oh, and it has to have a fuel efficiency of 30 MPG, 
and don't spend too much time developing it.  Your requirements do not 
make sense.

You've been given a self-inconsistent set of requirements.  Don't even 
bother until you can get a more feasible set of requirements.

I should write that down too -- as a sign that a project is in trouble.

Best,
