Use the pi rule. Multiply the estimated duration by pi. Works for many other things too, besides software.

I might as well build it myself") - One to build it - One to get in working in the required way (allowing for "That may be what I asked for, but it's not what I want") And a bit more for contingency... NB The above approach is based on an assumption that the real difficulties come from working out what to build - technical risks are generally easier to address (prototypes etc.).
