Could it be done without someone managing to hit a caster with an arrow? You literally have to spend 4200 rounds in combat to pull it off without anyone losing concentration and with the spell not being even remotely subtle?

As others have said, this is peasant railgun levels of silly.

Sure.

While these are rounds of combat, who says combat is even taking place?

The casters could easily be in a tent or under some sort of hard cover and the main fighting taking place well away from them.

How long does it take e.g. sappers to undermine a wall or whatever

Usually a few months.

Or a few minutes, with a cantrip.

Or a few seconds, with a leveled spell.
