 Have you tried customizing org-agenda-format-date with a function?  
Here's the doc string:
 
 Format string for displaying dates in the agenda.
 Used by the daily/weekly agenda and by the timeline.  This should be
 a format string understood by `format-time-string', or a function 
returning
 the formatted date as a string.  The function must take a single 
argument,
 a calendar-style date list like (month day year).
 
 
 If you're mostly concerned about displaying dates, rather than reading 
them in, that might do the trick.

on top Week agenda (W34-W35), i.e. it still thinks that the week starts 
on Monday. Can I change that? 
 
  2. It would be very useful for me if the weeks were numbered from the 
week when my big work project started. Can I have the week numbering 
customized to have W01 on a certain date?
 
 I believe the answer is no to both questions: these are ISO week
 numbers and org depends on calendar functions to calculate them.

This sounds good. However, it requires knowledge of eLisp, which I cannot 
claim to possess. I would very much appreciate a code snippet that would 
get me started in the right direction.
