To which I reply:

My rule for estimating software project times:

- Make my best estimate
- Double it
- Add one of the next higher unit

Thus a 1-day project becomes 1 week plus 2 days, a 1-week project becomes 1 month plus 2 weeks, and a 1-month project becomes 1 year plus 2 months.

One-year or longer projects can't be completed.
