You can use the MSysObjects table and a Cartesian query to create this:

PARAMETERS 
    Period Text ( 255 ), 
    Periods Short, 
    FirstDate DateTime;
SELECT DISTINCT 
    10*Abs([Deca].[id] Mod 10)+Abs([Uno].[id] Mod 10)+1 As Sequence,
    DateAdd([Period],[Sequence]-1,[FirstDate]) AS [DateStart],
    DateAdd([Period],[Sequence],[FirstDate]) AS [DateEnd]
FROM 
    MSysObjects AS Uno, 
    MSysObjects AS Deca
WHERE 
    10*Abs([Deca].[id] Mod 10)+Abs([Uno].[id] Mod 10)<[Periods]

Run this with the parameters:

Period: q
Periods: 4
FirstDate: 2017-04-14
