I'll make a first attempt.

So, I noticed that the phrase "next week" has a very excellent lujvo:

My question is in two parts. First, is {lidne} the proper antonym of
{balvi}?
 
I think {balvi} has two antonyms, {lidne} and {purci}.
 
Second, is li'elamjeftu a good lujvu for "last week"?
 
No. Since the stress is on "jef", there would be no difference between {li'elamjeftu} and {li'e lamjeftu}. To overcome this, add a hyphen-r after {li'e}: {li'erlamjeftu}.
 
But, based on the analogy of {bavlamdei} ('tomorrow') and {prulamdei} ('yesterday'), I suggest {prulamjeftu}.
