I don't think it's possible for an add-on to create project-based data that can be directly accessed by other add-ons. And it wouldn't be safe for multiple add-ons to modify that data without a common mechanism to manage it.
An add-on could provide access to the data via an external command or service, i.e. other add-ons could call it to get/set data if it provided a published command set.
However, I don't see any way for that data to interact directly with ARCHICAD's scheduling. There is no API to inject schedule content (to my knowledge).
