Estimation of Timelines for Documentation Projects

My employer is presently putting a documentation process into place. A part of this documentation process would require estimating timelines for projects.

In my experience, one is best placed to estimate the time required for a documentation project only if one has implemented a similar project in the past. If such experience is not available, how can one come up with a reliable estimate? Are there any resources on estimation of timelines for documentation projects?

Any help in this regard would be highly appreciated.

Thank you.

Vlad
