If you want to repeat the main task and sub-tasks, the function will
preserve difference between the timestamps.

You can also modify (advice) `org-deadline' and `org-scheduled' so their
base value is the one above in the subtree instead of current date.
Another option is to add a keymap to
`org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map' that would set the base date to the
last one computed. You could then choose your date incrementally (e.g.,
first move to the deadline date of the task, then backwards 90 days
with -90d). I'm unsure about the net benefit, tho.
