Sorry but no, I am not able to and do not intend to schedule calls with GSoC applicants. I'll be happy to discuss stuff on the mailing-list. Estimating a timeline and coming up with (at least some) milestones of the project is part of the exercise of writing a proposal. GSoC contributors need to demonstrate a certain level of independent thought and initiative - though of course the community is always there to help with specific questions and difficulties. The project has been discussed already in https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc/2023-March/240833.html and this message should be enough to get you started.
