That should be less than 20 lines of Nasal code, and should require less than 20 minutes to implement, maybe 1 hour if you have never done any programming before.
Keep in mind, such things are not hard-coded, there's a scripting language in FlightGear, and it can access the route manager, including flight plans, we also have a timer/clock dialog, and even a dedicated timer API - and there are also ways to play sounds - see for example the tutorial system (100% scripted), or ATC chatter (also 100% scripted).
So all the ingredients are in place, you just need to combine them. Working on such a feature is possible without being bound by the release plan at all.
We can walk you through everything during a single weekend.
