Short answer: commuting back and forth to the build will not really work, most likley with some kind of getting ripped off.
County treats "garage first" as an attempt to end-run the permitting requirements ... but the garage (as a "utility structure" of less than 600 square feet on ag-zoned land) may not require permits, so long as it doesn't have any plumbing or electrical.
Regular building permits don't really "expire" so long as progress does not lapse for more than 120 days -- Special Use permits typically have a completion due-date, which may be extended.
That said ... the County permitting/inspection process is a whimsical fairyland of magical rules and restrictions, to the point that it sometimes seems like Building and Planning are making stuff up as they go along.
For everything else, there's the Search function, all of these questions have happened before.
