Should be a 15m job max.

Will there be an Outlook plugin for scheduling and modifying meetings?

@TPR3CX, no. The meeting creation remains in the Apps. If the user likes to manage the invitations from Outlook, the user can download the invitation file (ICS) and use it from Outlook. Here the user can also change the date/time of the meeting as all meetings are created with room to play and update the meeting.
