Well, once again, the question was, how long? So yeah each to his own...just that we have to come up with some kind of estimate. Yeah, I'd agree, my estimate was too long...but only by a half for what I've observed these past 15 years.

I think this is a good, helpful answer. Yeah, the type of info would
impact the dates. Yeah, the skill of the writer would as well...but at
least to help one allocate time boxes is probably helpful. In effect,
spend about 8-10% of time planning, 40% constructing, 10% reviewing with
SMEs, and 30-40% producing (copy edit, proofread, publish).

30%-40% on copy edit, proofread, and publish tasks???

Certainly that can be pulled in with better process in the
constructing phase. My edit/proof/publish time is 10% tops.
