Feedback about fresh open source project
If you're happy to bring in another library, you could replace your Date VO class with the LocalDate class from the brick/datetime library. It does the same thing, just has three int fields inside instead of a string in Y-m-d format.

civil-date-time: a civil date/time library for PHP
Looks like a CivilDate is the same thing that brick/date-time calls a LocalDateTime. Does this library have any advantages over the one from Brick?

Stopping time with PHP
It is a good practice to use an interface to manage the clock in an application, as it allows having full control of time. For example, it eases testing, as it lets us define the concrete time for each test. Frank de Jonge and Matthias Noback have blog posts about it, brick has an implementation, and there is even a PSR proposal to have a ClockInterface.

Best Excel creation lib for PHP
We were testing PHP Spreadsheet and Spout (https://github.com/box/spout). We chose Spout because of its low memory footprint. It is using streams so it is much lighter than PHP Spreadsheet, although it is missing quite a bit of features that PHP Spreadsheet has.

What's the best practice in modifying/inserting values in specific cells of an existing excel file?
If you don't have a lot of formatting requirements beyond just the placement of the data in the correct fields, I really enjoy Box/Spout (https://opensource.box.com/spout/), and they have a way to install it without composer.
