RE: please clarify me this points?
What comes in must go out. If you want 22 cfm to go in, you need a fan which can handle 22 cfm. That is a tiny domestic baby.
The door grille should be sized on about 400 fpm. That makes a hole about 3 inch square. You will just about get that in leaks around the door, or by undercutting the bottom of the door by about a quarter of an inch.
For this amount of ducting you can use any material - steel, plastic, plumbing fittings - whatever you can find in a hardware store. Round is great. There is no advantage going for rectangular.
Propeller fans don't like a lot of pressure. Talk to your fan supplier and ask for advice. I doubt if you are looking at more that one inch pressure loss in your ducting.

However, in my opinion...I dont know what good it will do to ventilate 22cfm in a garage. I would consider increasing the amount to 50cfm. The undercut of the door can still support 50 cfm of transfer air from the adjacent space.
for this small exhaust system...use 4" flexible ducting. This will be cheapest. (similar to the dryer vent duct).
