What span of time do you think the game takes place over and why?

(Let's just assume for simplicity the opening cutscene takes place in September, since the last Liberty Tree article on the website was in August, and that "Give Me Liberty" occurs on October 3rd 2001, the game's original release date pre-9/11)

What span of time would things play out over?

It's been a long time since I finished III but I'm going to go with 2-3 months.

Actually, the last portion of Liberty Tree articles was published on 18th October 2001 to be exact  I personally made an assumption for myself that "Give Me Liberty" has happened on 22nd October 2001 since it's the release date  However, when talking about the length of the storyline, it's really unclear. For example, I assumed for the sake of the timeline that Claude was taking one mission per day, which gave me the idea that storyline could last for the whole October and November and ended out a bit before December 2001.  Only Rockstar itself could provide us with an answer since their answers are canon. Unfortunately, there's not much chance we will get that answer besides putting hands on the Holy Grail..

October-December 2001. Lovely setting too.

October to November 2001.

September to November, just because of the fall leaves

About approximately 3 weeks, or 23 days. Enough to get established and find and take revenge.
