Ha Ha, Mario, That rule is similar to the one I have used, It takes 80% of the time to get 80% of the work done, and 80% of the time to get the final 20% done.
Yes - it adds up to 160% The problem for me is I seem to discover more or better is possible, so the work to be done expands, before I approach even 80% of the original design idea. Truth is I would prefer to be in this situation than others because I know in the long run a great many features will be available. It can just be a little frustrating while "on the journey".
