Your project is atypical. Generally the number of person-hours declines after the first major release. After the release of version 1.0, you’re probably going to spend increasing amount of time in maintenance. This will reach its peak around version 13.0. Shortly after version 13.0, the deployments will become increasingly difficult. Integrations with other programs will become unstable. The need for maintenance will increase, but the program will be bloated, the environment complicated, and developer experience will decline significantly. If the budget allows, offshore development and send her to boarding school.
