Age of Ultron is pretty firmly placed with the main events starting on April 28th, the Avengers returning by Wednesday 29th, and then the party "3 days" later on "Saturday", May 2nd. I haven't checked the time zones and things to see if Sokovia should indeed be on the 6th, that was placed before I was really involved. But the week is definitely correct. It is the earliest possible week for it to be Charles Spencer's college "summer" at the Battle of Sokovia, as stated by Tony in Civil War, but then several days (from the day of Sokovia to Simmons being taken to Maveth) + 4,722 hours (6.5 months, Simmons' time on Maveth) + 1 day later, Werner von Strucker joins Andrew Garner's psychology course and is told he only has a few weeks of catch-up work to do, meaning this should not really be later than early November, and cannot be later than late November. So yeah, it's the exact week that is both as early and as a late as it can be, and it lines up with everything else.

The end of Age of Ultron has to be a while later, for the facility to be remodelled and Laura Barton to have given birth, but before the night of May 31st-June 1st, when WHiH posted about Thor being missing, and not too long later considering their dialogue. Ant-Man helped with this, revealing that it wasn't a whole new facility they built, it was a pre-existing one they renovated. Still, it has to be at least a few weeks. It is placed on May 28th because for WHiH to be reporting Thor as missing, it would need to have been at least a couple of days since he left, and the 29th is Stark's birthday, so it shouldn't really be then. So yes, they had 3 weeks to renovate. It's not particularly realistic, but it's possible (besides, some of the internal stuff could still be under construction) considering it was just a renovation, and it's necessary.
