By now, your maps should probably be at about 20% build. If you have been mapping all week but are way, way below that, then it may be time to reconsider the scope of your entry.
Good luck.

My map is going ok... About somewhere between the 20% & 40% mark I think...
By the way: What is the exact date & time of when we should be done?

The date: Clearly specified in the rules as Sunday 2nd August
The time: Probably the end of the day (midnight) UK time...
...although an earlier time might allow me more of a chance to download everyone's submissions and make sure they work, so I might change that to 6PM UK time.

Just because I have achieved that myself, doesn't mean that's the only thing I've based it on. Here's how I think it should be done, assuming a model of "build first, gameplay later".
Week 1 - 20%-25% build
Week 2 - 40%-50% build
Week 3 - 60%-75% build
Week 4 - 80%-100% build
Week 5 - 100% build; gameplay underway
Week 6 - 100% gameplay; testing
That's certainly what I'm aiming for myself. It's common sense, really.

I've got 60% of a first map, and that means it's like 40% of a second... Cos these two are very similar. About 80% of all scripts, two songs out of three... And a half of stuff as it comes to the dialogues.
I wonder if I'll make it

Very busy at the moment (for the next 3 weeks) but if there is 1 thing which should be said ... It's that 6 weeks development time is way too much. Looking at what has been produced already and the quality attained, it seems 4 weeks is time enough.
In this way:
For those who didn't get my humour - I am seriously impressed by some (most) of the screenshots and ideas expressed. My expectations (concerning a short competition in a small community like this) were low but have already been surpassed tenfold, if not more. I actually suspect some entrants are using Godmode
In this way:
- maps would be ready exactly when I have time again to play, euh, I mean evaluate them.
- and 4 weeks development, 4 weeks rest to renew inspiration and HellScrag could open a new contest (*me thinking that makes 6 competitions a year which just about fills up all my free time with playing, euh, I mean evaluating all the new stuff*)

My map should definitely be finished before five weeks.
It's other aspects of my map that I'm hoping I can finished in time

Quality, not quantity. Maps won't be rated based on how long they are - a complete, self-contained experience is more important.
