More specifically, I'm looking at this from a maintenance perspective.
If I give a programmer an existing program to modify, how long on
average will it take, per line of code, to analyze the program to then
be able to then make necessary changes.

That's rather like asking how many layers of Kleenex are needed to stop
an artillery shell.
The answer to your questions is very heavily dependant on such factors
as the experience of the analyst, the complexity of the code, how many
times will he/she be interrupted, etc. IMHO, entirely a matter of local
judgement and not a good question for this group.
