So if I understand you correctly phase caching moves is the way to go?

It is working for me, to give you a better impression of my approach i added
an image of my "planning classdiagram".

Observation contains 2 annotated planningVariables getScheduleBlock() and
getPeriod(). in the getPeriod() function it checks if the scheduleBlock is
not null, if so it uses scheduleBlock.getPlanningsPeriods() function to
return a list of periods.

If have any more questions feel free to ask, we are all working to make
OptaPlanner better. I can even send you a zip of my current code if you are
interested.
