I've actually done this and made a doc outlining a very very rough passage of time according to the progression of the MSQ (quests outside the MSQ are highly unreliable for marking time passage as they often exist within their own bubbles).
Needless to say, the rough approximation of overall length of time spent in Stormblood is neither conducive with the time bubble nor the canon "1 year" timeframe established by MSQ NPCs listed in my previous post. Even skimming the absolute minimum amount of time needed to reach Kugane from Limsa via boat (8 weeks), the overall passage of theoretically days and weeks between major MSQ events adds up. A lot.
