How much would it cost to mud my livinging room ceiling, and then texture ceiling and walls? The room is around 14' x 30'.
To cover imperfections in plaster/drywall.It helps camouflage or hide the highs and lows that occur over time. Wall sheet rock does "hang" like ceiling sheet rock does.Its also more obvious because of close proximity of lighting fixtures
Definitely the plywood.
If there is enough sheet rock damage that you need to patch you could cut the sheet rock enough to put in some 2x4 or 2x6 backing. You can "toe" screw the backing into place with some 3 inch deck screws. Then patch, texture, and paint. This should prevent the problem from happening again.
Paint it, lower the ceiling to cover it, build a 3 sided wooden beam or sheet rock enclosure around it. Use your imagination or that of a contractor.
Generally, you cannot change wiring in a home with sheet rock without significant damage to the sheet rock. If you abandon the existing wiring, which is technically a code violation, you can drill through the bottom or top of each outlet or switch box into a basement or attic and rewire that way. Replacing lighting wiring in a ceiling without an attic above cannot be done without damage to the sheet rock. An alternative is to surface mount new wiring and boxes. This adds significant cost.

Sheet rock? Never heard of it. Must be a paperweight for sheets.
They can be used if need be. But, know that all junction boxes must be covered and they must be accessible at all times. That can be placed above a drop ceiling with panels that can be removed but not above a permanent sheet rock or wood ceiling.

Tar will stick to sheet rock provided the surface is free from grease and dust.
