The meeting was scheduled over the call for two days after the call.

1) The meeting was scheduled over the call for two days after the call.

2) The meeting was scheduled over the call for two days after the call was made to have it scheduled.

3) The meeting was scheduled for two days after we called you to have it scheduled.

Please check my sentences. Can "scheduled" be replaced by "arranged" in these sentences?

They're barely comprehensible, and suffer from the same old issues. The first is the worst. Try some simplification.

I'll repeat myself: look for repeated words and eliminate them where possible.

Sentence 1 would be nearly correct if you removed the parenthetical part. Don't add an explanation in parentheses to a sentence.

Tufguy, you seem to be unclear on the concept (whatever the concept happens to be). Perhaps:

We scheduled the meeting for two days after the call.

There is no need to make things so complicated.
:-(

1) The meeting was scheduled over the call for two days after.

2) The meeting was scheduled for two days after the call.

Number two and three are okay. Number one isn't clear about what "after" refers to, so I wouldn't use it.

Tufguy, I am not at all sure why you insist on using passive voice. Meetings don't schedule themselves.

I scheduled a meeting with you for two days after the call. Is it fine now? It means I called that person on July 7th and scheduled a meeting for 9th of July (for two days after the call). Am I correct?

I'm going to be picky now. "I scheduled a meeting with you for two days ..." could be taken to mean that you spent two days scheduling/trying to schedule a meeting with the other person.

So, what should I say?

After speaking to you on Wednesday, I scheduled a meeting with you for Friday.
