With most of the design/assembly itself being done in CAD and then sent off, what does the mechanical team do? In essence, if the drivetrain is being made in CAD and made my a sponsor, what does the actual mechanical team do while the design team is CADing it and sending it off?

If you still plan to do in house work(as Adam said it can be very hard to not do any in house work) then they can start machining things. However there should still pe a primary emphasis on CAD and prototyping during the first few weeks of build.
