My business sponsor claimed to always take my estimate, double it and bump the units.

3 hrs => 6 days

2 days => 4 weeks

So how would he estimate 1 year project?
Hopefully no one is looking at a project and saying "that will take a year". You estimate tasks and that gives you a project timeline. Those tasks get the double and bump.

Or say 2 decades and get all the praise when you come in under time and budget.

"Never"
2 decades
