Duration for Project

[ernofconsulting]

While bidding for a fixed price project you are required to specify 'How long will this project take?'. The select duration option is limited to four options, with the minimum being less than a month.

However there are many projects where clients explicitly state that the deadline is a few hours or days. Therefore we need to add more options so that the proposal can be closely linked to client requirements.

I suggest below additions:
1. 2 to 4 weeks
2. 1 to 2 weeks
3. 3 to 7 days
4. 1 to 3 days
5. Less than 24 hours

Yes, they only recently changed this - there used to be a "less than 1 week" option. I suspect that this is part of Upwork "encouraging" us to do larger projects, by pretending that small projects don't exist. I usually just say how long a project will take when I write my proposal (especially if the client states that they're in a hurry).

Thank you for this suggestion, Saadi. I'll be sure to share it with our team.

How may I determine the project duration when I am not aware of the project volume.
