A rule of thumb:

When you ask how long a project will take, divide the answer in half, and bump up to the next significant unit of time.

If a programmer tells you that he or she can get that to you in ten minutes, that means five hours. If a contractor says it's a one-day process, that means half a week.

This rule of thumb has served me well in general.
