I am working on a project that will require intense timeline fields and all to keep track of stuff so I am trying to make it all easier by making it automatic. I have made a lot of progress in it however, there is an issue I cannot resolve so I am asking for help. I have created this document that shows it. I apologise for the formatting, I am not familiar with how to format this properly on tex.stackexchange.

When I change them around the same thing happens and others. I am trying to make it such that it counts lines and width and makes the area around compensate.
What am I doing that causes it to start shifting the moment more rows are added? The timetext part is to get the rows working which I could not get otherwise.
