7 years: idealistic reforms, work towards the best outcomes. Example: Electoral College reform.

7 months: practical reforms, take what can be done. Example: improved voting rules.

7 weeks: rules are in place, can't change them. Operate within the realm of what is possible.

7 months and 7 weeks seem straightforward enough, though the "improved" in "improved voting rules" seems unclear.

Electoral College reform: by this do you mean that what you really want is to eliminate equal representation of the states in the senate? Or just a nationwide popular vote for the presidency?

Ideally I am thinking of a "manifesto" that outlines what democratic ideals should be, in a practical world.
