Pick a year. That's not even remotely how research works. It's not like software engineering where the problem is known. We could find a cure tomorrow, or it might be in 2000 years time. We literally have no idea how long it would take. Moreover, research into unrelated things might even be the breakthrough needed for understanding and "curing" dementia.
