The only way to estimate work is to make up a number and then log everything that prevents that from happening to put forward a case when the “why?” question comes up when the deadline hits. Then prepare for being told you are making up excuses and being negative and not flexible to all the challenges that you just listed and that you need to manage time better and potentially think about outsourcing some work to people who lie better than you.
