This is a good point, and reminds me of a minor complaint I have about social engineering in GURPS, in that time requirements are mostly vague or unspecified—granted, it's difficult to nail down, but if you're going to be able to "take your time" or "rush," you need a base to work from.

I played in a game a while back where we started a whisper-campaign to take over leadership of an organization. There's no indication at all of how long that should take. I'm not sure how you set a standard for that, exactly, but we really needed to know at the time.
