The wait weeks value is meant to be a rough estimate. There are too many unknowns for it to be accurate.

An average of 2.5 weeks per loan is assumed regardless of library. Loans in progress are assumed to have half of this time remaining. Results are rounded up.

I could improve the algorithm to make some cases more accurate statistically, but I am not inclined to spend my time doing so.
