There isn't a built-in method to do the 'filtering' you describe but it can be done with macros that set sections to be hidden. The trick is working out how to organise and tag the content to be hidden in specific cases. Your two choices for tagging areas are bookmarks or Content Controls.

To quote on how long it would take is tricky without seeing the content and what you want done but someone who knows what they are doing could achieve a workable result in a couple of hours. The tabular layout might add time to this since it complicates the layout but samples would need to be seen to assess how much effort is required. Also the number of variants will impact the time taken to develop.
