When troubleshooting all you can specify is the amount of effort. "We are all working full-time to solve the problem. It has the highest priority"
Patch is due anytime from today till the "time it takes to recode the hole game + the time it took to come to that conclusion".
We already seen what happens when "the boss" (Ubi) demands a date from the coder (1C) - we got an Alpha.

When your car breaks down, hopefully the mechanic is farmiliar with the make and model of the vehicle, they have ready access to the required replacement parts and that they have done a similar repair in the past and from that experience they can estimate a time frame.
The difference with software patching is that the developers need to re-engineer each of the replacement parts, sometimes from scratch. There are no off the self fixes.
