You really should hire someone to do the design.

They don't? Perhaps you are referring to the bad old days when
switches didn't have enough backplane bandwidth to sustain full speed
on all ports. Those days are fortunately (almost) over.

Even if a switch gets overloaded, it doesn't switch port speed. It
just drops packets.
