A short FAQ-style YouTube clip by Richard Schreiber (the Software Whisperer) answering “How long will it take to develop my software?” He explains that timeline correlates with cost, number of man-hours, and the features/functions defined during estimation, and stresses the client’s ongoing availability for timely decision-making to avoid delays.

Hi, Richard Schreiber here, the Software whisperer. And today we're going to cover another frequently asked question and that is how long is it going to take to develop my software product? Well, in the first FAQ we dealt with how much is it going to cost? And there's a direct correlation between cost and time because the time it will take to develop your software product is also impacted by how how many man hours and how many features and functions that you uncover in going through the cost estimate.
But you also it'll also be dependent importantly on your availability throughout the development aspect of the project because you're going to need to be available and accessible to make key decisions at various points of the project. So you even though you may turn it over to a development house, you still need to play a key role in decision making and be readily accessible. Otherwise your project can slow down and fall behind schedule. This is Richard Schreiber, the Software Whisperer. Keep asking those questions.
