Me: "So, to recap.. I'll be creating an integration between your site and [some software]. It will require [list of todos and features].. I expect this to take 4 hours over the next 2 business days."

Client: "But [referring company] said this would only take like 15 minutes.."

    I would definitely say "the other company have no idea what they are talking about, you can go with them if you wish but most chances you wont get what you expect."
