Without giving expert advice to your problem, I think I can give you some food for thought.

As far as people saying acoustics is a no rush matter, I completely disagree. Time and budget are a huge factor in any space and its quite obvious that you need to do something quick to complete your job. You can spend 2 years trying to come up with the best possible senario for your room and then commiting to the work. Or you could educate yourself, build, re-educate yourself, rebuild etc...

I personally think hands on experience is also a big factor. I want my studio to sound good, but also LOOK good lol. I can't speak for anyone else but who wants butchered looking panels that "sound" good.

Do as much as you can with the knowledge you have and with the timeline given, that way you can get a better sounding room (maybe not perfect) and finish your project. After that, educate yourself some more and maybe move some panels around or rebuild some panels. Your second panel will always be built better than your first.

Also dont make anything TOO permanent that way you can take things down and use them somewhere else, if necesary.

God Bless and get to work!! NOW.
