E.g., a 5 minute project would take 15 hours; a 2 hour project would take 6 days, and a 1 day project would take 3 weeks.

I'm currently in the state of watching project managers trying to negotiate estimates for their MSProject. From this they are trying to determine the scope of development. We don't even have requirements yet. I call this the Perfect Engineering Fantasy Too funny.
