I'm not good at estimates. ;-)
In the end, if there is more time, there will always be something to do!

I designed the component, with the goal of fixing deficiencies[1][2]
of the "Commons Math" library and tried to provide a framework that
would be easy to use[3] (for users and contributors), but it's hard to
know how newcomers approach the result.
Alex went through this, so he can probably share his experience.
