I suspect that few if any people have actually tried to implement their own fields.
In theory, you just need your own DurationFieldType and DurationField. There is no need for your own Chronlogy. The DurationField does the actual work of calculation. You can probably do all the calculations simply by calling on to the month field of the chronology you are given (multiplying everything by 3).
