The 412 I guess was built in approximately 3 years, so that's kind of a useful comparison. But I have no idea.
I guess the other thing is that this could be a hugely parallelizable project, so in terms of completion date the biggest barrier might just be how fast the Government is willing to spend the money. My impression so far hasn't been that they're in a huge rush, so...
I would guess the bridge over the grand river and the interchange with the 85 will be the critical path. I suspect also that no one is in a huge rush.
As another reference, the 407 extension took (will take) between 2 to 5 years: http://highway407east.com/project-info/p.../timeline/
