There's no hope of your being able to give a "true" answer. Unless you have received all the maint you could possibly need, you don't have any idea how many HOLDs you have to resolve. If there are AO holds and you have an automation system, you may be embarking on a journey spanning multiple departments, end-user communities, etc. Same for ACTION; it may not impact you at all, or it could be days of work. Pick a number out of the air. Say it will take one fifteenth the time to install and customize a product. (Don't specify a product - just a generic product.)
