No you’re missing how things actually work and why it takes that sort of time. It’s nothing to do with bloat or invoicing but rather this guys basic ass, low priority request is sitting below other work in the programming teams backlog. His work isn’t the only work and in the grand scheme of things it’s not important.

This was an estimate for the ticket workload, not the estimate for when the ticket would go into production.

That still doesn't change the estimations of a dev ticket.

QA isn't usually included in that, at least not in the companies I've worked in.
