Yes, I understood your description, it was well done :-)

I don't think that I would build in any "short circuiting" of the 
delays, that's app_queue and/or ICD do for you. This new app is already 
complex enough without duplicating that functionality.

I think what you proposed is a good combination... each entry in the 
list can have:

- a delay before the first dial is attempted
- a timeout for each attempt to dial that entry (overridden by the 
master timeout)
- a number of retries if the entry is busy or does not answer
- an optional delay between retries
