It seems to me that the costs would vary so much with time, place, and
circumstance that any "statistics" would be ball park at best and dead wrong
at worst. For actual cost of documentation, research in your area using
best guesstimates of the time involved based on previous projects would be
far more appropriate, I'd think.
