I am not sure what you mean by `org-clock-alarm'. We have
`org-clock-sound', which you need to customize for alarm to be played
when clocked time exceeds EFFORT.

For weekly/monthly/total, you can use clock tables to summarize the time
spend on different projects during the week/month/in total. See
https://orgmode.org/manual/The-clock-table.html

You can display additional property values in the clock table using
:properties attribute. That will allow seeing clocked time and your
estimates stored in EFFORT_* properties.
