count of the due date value changed in a issue

Save the very first due date the was set on an issue and keep a count of how many times the due date was changed in a number field

Improvisation: if the count exceeds 5, notify the respective project lead via email.

As you note, you could do this with a custom field and Automation for Jira rule.  To get you started on creating your rule, please review this documentation and examples:
