Given the short timespand of getting a record definition ready, I would 
strongly urge towards getting a rudementary format ready very fast and 
then iterating over the format multiple times (as requirements get in and 
showing the formats to the interested parties to see if it can fulfill 
their requirements).

If you wait to start defining the format until requirements have been 
collected there will be very little time to work with the record format.
