Doing the PDF I am working on now, at 14 hours a week, it will probably take a couple of months, minimum. The footnotes fill half of each page, making it unreadable as it stands. I had to copy the underlying text of the epub, put it into AWP, publish it, then bring it into Calibre editor to work on because of all the odd colors and text sizes. I also had to fetch maps that were not brought over either, although the pictures were.
Oh, that doesn't include the RaNSoM note text that has be corrected by hand, either. And expect the Chinese earning nothing to correct idiomatic English?
Hitch and her crew earn every penny they get and they probably don't get enough half the time.
