Happy thanksgiving and Columbus day!

Not sure if I'm thinking about this in the right way or if this is even efficient. I'm facing a couple of problems and can't construct the right formula. I feel it has to do with index, match, offset?

I'm thinking about this problem in this way as I know one of the questions I will be asked is "what if we change the timing of this budget line and the corresponding budget lines?" I will have to continuously cut/paste/change/shift values in the entire file - and there are many dependent/gating rows to change and I know I will miss one eventually. If we had a software it might be easier. Anyone else faced with this?

E.g. line 1 should start March, Line 2 and 3 are dependent on line 1 and would I would simply use a date formula (T+3, T+1, etc)

File Construct:

1. rows 2-4 - inputs of budget line items with start date and then corresponding $.
2. rows 8-10 - is supposed to be the output displayed monthly

The formula I used and the output is:
=IFERROR(INDEX($D$2:$I$6,MATCH($A8,$A$2:$A$6,0),MATCH(1,(D$7=$B$2:$B$6)*($A8=$A$2:$A$6),0)),0)

When I use this formula, it worked for line 1 except I didn't know how to pull in subsequent values. It clearly didn't work for line 2 and 3 as it skipped the first few values.

But the ideal output should pull in line 1 at the right time and then the corresponding values and for all other lines:
