License renewal

A sign in the CAAP medical office says an applicant can't process his medical check up requirement unless it's 28 days to license expiry.

Consider:
1. Approximately 7 days eating up into a weekend because the medical clerk incessantly deplores that because they are undermanned and that she has so many others' certificates piled-up to prepare;
2. 2 to 3 days to process a check ride permit;
3. X number days prior his check ride; and then another
3. 4 days to eventually process license possibly again eating up to another weekend.

How many days leeway are pilots actually left with to juggle their schedule and process this requirement?

The clerks thereat are so technology-resistant old that they have never so far considered using computer(s) to facilitate the entire procedure.
