T.Z happy new year to you mate and best of luck with your work. Ok, data obviously depends on engine type as well. I'm giving you RR Trent 500 data. Regarding the power settings you should be more specific N1, N2, N3 or EPR?
In any case 55% power settings appears to be way too low. Usually we're talking bout N1 in the range of 81% with EPR of 1.35. Anyways here's the breakdown of data:
CLIMB 250/320/.82 from brake release point with TOW 360T, ISA, CG 30%, Anti Ice OFF, AC normal.

BR till 1500 ft: 2 min, 6 NM, FB 1099 kg, TAS 146 kts.
BR till FL 100 : 6 min, 23 NM, FB 2595 kg, TAS 223 Kts
BR till FL 290: 21 min,128 NM, FB 6890 kg, TAS 465 Kts.
Obviously you need to subtract those figures from each other to find out data for each segment as it's always from brake release point. You need the TAS to determine distance bearing in mind in wind calm. How else do you wanna find out distance you covered during climb? Maximum thrust: 56000 lbf (249 kN) on RR trent 500
