12 People ( avg ) x 2.5 years = 30 Man years
30 * 50 ( So I'm rounding ) = 1500 Man weeks
1500 / 2 ( longest time to make a VFD app per our notes ) = 700
Seems to me that there must be A LOT of studies going on to
Justify that kind of development.
Just imagine what kind of VFP app with 30 man years effort could have been
made.

You may remember me talking about the Java system at St. Jude. Last Fri
it made the Biz section of our paper. No Web deliver of it :(
Anyway 20 people in total, 12 at a time created this Java wonder that
took First Place in a National Medical Software Competition. It beat
out allot of pharmaceutical stuff. And it raised allot of eyebrows in
Medical Research communities.
Time frame was 2.5 years. It had a few major changes along the way and
because of the Architect it's great. Fully data driven, and a new
researcher can get a custom interface for their study in about 2->10
hours of time. It use to take me 2 days to 2 weeks in my FPD system to
make the necessary changes to the existing forms I had to fit what they
needed new in their current study.
