In general (service companies) we have some standards for cognos reports that should follow in every
project

Not for only FM; from report design phase to testing this is the time frame(excluded specification document preparation time)

Simple:  5 Days*

Medium: 7 Days*

Complex: 10 Days*
*Including buffer

Generally the Simple,Medium and Complex are calculated by seeing into the report layout, design challenges, calculation etc.,
