How long does it take to conduct a user research?

Hi!

Could help me please understand how much hours in average (or min-max) does it take to produce these 5 deliverables in user research?

1. Competitive analysis
2. User Testing (5 participants) (recruiting, testing, analyzing, preparing a report)
3. Customer Journey Mapping
4. Heatmap analysis
5. Online polls and surveys

If possible please write a number and hours range.

Thank you!

Yes, I understand that it depends upon experience. I am a Junior and just want to know some averages for someone not a junior in order to have some benchmarks.
It is for estimating prices and duration of stages for a freelance projects.
I know that a lot of agencies charge project-based, they have some average hours for each stage and then they multiply by their hourly rate.

Hi,
Thank you very much. It is really helpful for me and gives some orientation. There are very little information on timing of ux research in the internet.
