What is primary function of STM32F072 MCU? Is in necessary for LCD configuration?
Is it STM32F072's firmware already written?
I am pretty sure in fact - I²C should be operated on only one voltage level ~3V3.  But I do not know how the data from battery management I²C bus goes to the EOMA68 card.

What EDA software are you using? The circuit sheets has very unusual graphic style. It would be good if we work in common design tool.

Timescale:
I expect two iteration in PCB design. One of local PCB manufacturers offer prototyping service as 36 EUR per 1dm² of two sided PCB.

Two pcs of planned PCBs probably fits well in to this area. Standard manufacturing time is 7 days.
Therefore for purpose of time planning I expect the fully functional PCB design at the end of March or on first week in April.

Shipping:
I do not know the price of shipping costs to you. But I have address in Prague (Czech Republic)  ZIP code: 18100

I expect the price of shipping will be equivalent to value of connectors or other passive components, therefore sending it separately won't have much sense.

  if you reckon an STM32F072 could handle it, then fine.  that saves
at least 2 ICs, which is great.  if you'd like to actually test it,
STM32F072-NUCLEO boards are only $EUR 10 from rs-online, mouser, arrow
and digikey.

 ok, so key question: what sort of timescale do you think you'd be
able to do this in?  reason i ask is, i need to work out the timeline.

 practical matters: i used eurocircuits to get the PCBs done, they
were about 7-10 days (unless you pay extra), and around $EUR 70 for
QTY2.  i have some components (connectors, switches, capacitors) i can
send you.

 more practical matters: from mid-april i'm going to be moving to a
new country *every month* until the end of the year, to track getting
this into a first production run.
