To answer the remainder of your original question, I pulled {paqvaD qanejmoH} off of the "klingon_grammar" page on the Wikipedia. However there was no citation given for where the example of this particular construction came from.

Disregarding your suggestions for recasting these sentences for the moment.
{bI'reS} - I was intending to use it as a time stamp, as in the {paq'batlh}, however, I'm thinking {wa'DIch} might have been more appropriate here.
*wa'DIch* would have been better. A *bI'reS* is the beginning of some artistic performance, not a job.
{Qu'DajvaD ghaH parqu'moH} - I'll explain my thinking here. I was intending to write /(this idea specifically) caused him to really dislike his duty/. I based this on the example of {paqvaD qanejmoH}, but as I'm currently writing this, I'm realizing that this probably falls under the category of the "prefix trick", correct? I was thinking that {ghaH} would be the explicit direct object and {Qu'Daj} would be the explicit indirect object. This obviously didn't work, correct?
Does *paqvaD qanejmoH* appear in *paq'batlh*? I have only about two-thirds of it typed in and searchable, and what I have already done doesn't contain that phrase.
Our first example of how to do this was on a SkyBox card, where the phrase was *ghaHvaD quHDaq qawmoH** it causes him to remember his heritage.* Following this pattern, your desired sentence would be *ghaHvaD Qu'Daj parqu'moH** it causes him to really dislike his task.*
