The deadline is Oct 27. That's three weeks from tomorrow. Any time that
Chris takes to "evaluate" the job, discuss it with the client, get
buy-in and a signed contract is that much less time there will be to
actually do the job.
Under these circumstances, the only ways to proceed are to either assume
the worst case - that every waking hour until the deadline will be spent
working on the project - and estimate accordingly, or to conclude the
project is a set up for failure and pass on it.
