I had to make one for a EU grant application recently, and I ended up using
tikz-gantt [1]. Documentation is excellent and it didn't take too much time
once I got the hang of the general idea behind the package. On the other
hand, YMMV. My gantt chart was really simple

Using tikz means no direct lyx support, however. My lyx-based grant
application has a big, 2-page long ERT box with all the tikz-gantt code in
it. In practical terms, I actually worked on the chart itself separately
from LyX using a Latex editor (Kile). Once I debugged it to my
satisfaction, I simply cut and paste  the latex code into an ERT box in LyX


Cheers,

Stefano
