Should have 'Future's End' have lasted for a season?
Instead of in the middle of the 3rd season it is the entire 4th Season.[
]The absence of the 2 parter in the middle of the 3rd season changes the layout of the 3rd season a bit...

Before and After
Now become 2 parters.
The season finale of the 3rd season is the beginning of the Future's End situation, with Captain Braxton showing up, and chasing Voyager for a while before he catches up and confronts them, with the result of him ending up in the 1960's and Voyager in the 1990's

8th episode: Janeway and Chakotay are caught by Starling, and they have to be beamed up by Voyager. Starling downloads some of the Voyager's computer information and programs, including the EMH. Tuvok and Paris are stuck on Earth and go to the Grifith Observatory, where someone has detected Voyager.

10th episode: Gary Seven comes to the rescue of Tuvok, Paris and Robertson, he fills them in on what he knows about Chronowerx. He adds that both Roberta Lincoln and Isis are off on missions... Voyager is boarded by Chronowerx goons and they have to be interred in the brig. Then a government contacts them. Starling interrogates the EMH.
11th episode: Voyager continues to fight against Chronowerx, which is infitrated by Seven and Paris. Tuvok and Robertson try to track down where the Timeship is being kept. The EMH is still being interrogated by Starling and some of his underlings.
12th episode: Starling captures Seven and Paris after they attempt to free the EMH. Tuvok and Robertson find the Timeship in a Chronowerx facility in Arizona. Voyager is forced to land somewhere in Mexico after China tries to attack it, using technology left over from the Eugenics Wars.
13th episode: Roberta Lincoln rescues Seven, Paris and the EMH from Starling. Tuvok and Robertson fight against the Chronowerx security when they try to take the Timeship.
The Mexican Government investigates Voyager

15th episode:Voyagerattempts to rescue Tuvok and Robertson. Starling attempts to enter Gary Seven's base, but continually fails.

17th episode: Isis, Tuvok and Robertson help Voyager rescue Seven, Lincoln, Paris and the EMH from the Cronowerx beseiged Aegis main Earth base, which then self destructs.
18th episode: Leaving Isis in charge of the backup base, Gary Seven, joins Voyager,which hides on the side of the Moon facing away from Earth, to discuss with the senior officers about what to do with the Timeship.
19th episode: Gary Seven oversees the retrofit of Voyager] with Aegis technology that will allow them to confront Chronowerx, and take the timeship. In the meantime Starling searches for the backup base, and moves to secure his postion.
20th episode: Janeway and her senior officers begin to plan with Gary Seven about how to confront Chronowerx. Starling continues searching for the backup base.
21st episode: Janeway, her senior officers and Gary Seven finalise their plans to confront Chronowerx. Voyager comes out of hiding from behind the moon and confronts Chronowerx. Starling finds the backup base in the meantime leading to the backup base being besieged at the same time as Voyager attacking Chronowerx.
22nd episode: Chronowerx is under attack by Voyager, the Aegis agents and those allied to them. Starling takes over the backup Aegis base and uses its technology to finish his repairs to the timeship. The episode, and the season, ends as Starling launches the timeship
5th Season:
1st episode: Voyager, the Aegis and their allies continue to fight against Chronowerx and their allies to prevent Starling travelling through time and destroying the Sol system in the 29th Century.
This fight comes down to a wire, and the timeship is destroyed. It is now obvious that the timeline has been changed. (Though viewers that watch Deep Space Nine know that there hasn't been any obvious real change in the 24th Century) Voyager remains in the 20th century at episode's end.
2nd episode: Gary Seven makes preparations to return Voyager to the 24th Century, as the crew help the Aegis agents mop up some of the mess from the fight against Chronowerx. Then an alternate timeship (named Relativity) appears, captained by an alternate (and older) Braxton. Over the objections of Janeway (who wants to return to the 24th Century Federation) and Gary Seven (who still wants to remove the Aegis tech from Voyager and agrees with Janeway about returning to the Federation) the Relativity returns Voyager to the 24th Century Delta Quadrant at the time and place that they had left.
What happens next?
There are many possibilities but I'll look at one here. First Contact had been released and TPTB still want to cash in on the Borg.
Expect increasing rumours of Borg in the first half of the fifth season. (There had been little mention of the Borg in the Future's End arc, though maybe more on Deep Space Nine [despite the Dominion War])
And then Scorpion airs at the same time that Dark Frontier had aired in our timeline, introducing Seven of Nine (though maybe a different number to reduce confusion with the other Seven? Still Jeri Ryan?) Voyager finds a wormhole across Borg space after the defeat of Species 8472 (with Kes staying on Voyager somehow), though they still run into the effects of the Borg from time to time.
And then:
Last episode of 5th Season.
Voyager encounters the Krenim Imperium. After the Krenim detect 'Seven of Nine' aboard Voyager, the ship is attacked! Leading into the 'Year of Hell' arc in the 6th season.
6th Season Year of Hell arc.
7th Season.
1st episode: Voyager finally leaves Krenim space.
Voyager is now enhanced with Aegis, Borg and Krenim technology (After having to repair themselves with salvaged debris in the Year of Hell).
They run into the Borg, the Malon and the Hirogen througout the 7th season.
At the end of the 7th season Voyager becomes trapped in orbit around a planet on which time goes a lot faster than normal. This leads into the 8th Season 'Blink of an Eye' arc.
8th season:
Blink of an Eye arc. Voyager is instrumental in the development of a planet from the stone age to the space age.
9th Season
Voyager escapes from the space age planet in the first episode, ending the series' last season-long arc. The series is more episodic from this point onwards.
The series is cancelled at the end of the 11th season (in 2005) with Voyager still in the Delta Quadrant.
keep in mind that is only one way the series could go from after a year long 'Future's End' arc.
