Question: What type of diagram would this be? Sankey? And could I use Google Charts to create it?

[Dustyn Gobler]

I'm trying to create a diagram that compares a project's ideal timeline at the start, with the reality of what actually happened at the end, for a postmortem. I've sketched out what I'm imagining. What type of diagram would this be? Sankey? Could I use Google Charts to create it?

Sankey is about proportional-width bands, but the chart in your sketch just uses a set of fixed-width paths, using the cubic bezier curves that Sankey typically employs.   And what you want the ends of those paths connected to is not a set of independent nodes, but two ranges, with positioning determined by your data values.

So the Google Charts Sankey diagram is not going to help much.  I haven't seen anything quite like it as a standard chart type, so you might have to roll-your-own with something like raw d3.
