The spec is not terribly clear on it :(

I understand it to be as follows.  As an example, in Mexico City you
have to take your car for an emissions check twice a year.  The period
when you have to take your car in depends on the last digit in the
license plate -- 0 and 1 must have it checked by January, 2 and 3 by
March, 4 and 5 by June, etc.  (Those dates are almost certainly not
accurate, but it works in a similar way).

You have two months to take your car for the emissions check.  Say that
my car needs to be taken in during October or November.  I am not
allowed to take it in before October, and I'll get a fine if I don't
have the emissions check done by the end of November.  So, the start
date for the task would be October 1, and the due date would be November
30.
