Timeline variables - how can I create a chart for this?

3. Oddly, this is not, in fact, a "project" that we are working on.

It's just a sequence of events in a contract: "If a certain event happens, then that kicks off this process which can be no longer than X months, after which the customer has X amount of time to decide if they want to do such-and-such, and if they do then they need to give X days' notice before they can implement this-or-that, at the end of which they can terminate the contract -- but only on a specific day of the year."

We are trying to clarify this process -- not, in fact, manage an actual project. Basically, we are needing to demonstrate that in any case the process cannot play out as short as the customer would like it to be.

But if MS Project would be the way to go, I could probably learn enough to chart the steps and their relationships, even if I do need to run it and save a graphic file for multiple scenarios (in order to satisfy all the "what if" questions).
