As Ken said earlier this is a perfect use for the new Structured-Data 
property defined in the eventpub-extensions draft

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-calext-eventpub-extensions/

(I will try to get a new version out this week)

The benefit of this approach is that it requires no further extensions 
to iCalendar - your maintenance data is carried as a payload with a 
known schema.

You're free to define this schema in whatever way seems appropriate but 
it would make sense to provide some indication as to how clients should 
handle it.

A question: is this more like a task than an event? There is a task 
extensions draft

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-apthorp-ical-tasks/

currently expired but I think due to be revived. This defines an 
ESTIMATED-DURATION property so that the task dtstart/end defines a 
window within which the task should be accomplished.
