Estimating the proportions of a networks project - have a go!

Survey time!
How would you spread the labour effort across a typical, generic, vanilla-flavoured Networks project?
Now I know I know... no two networks projects are the same and there is a big difference between installing one firewall and deploying a whole global MPLS network. But I want people to generalise here and spread 100% of effort across the following project headings:

[Assume what you need to for the project headings]

1) Initiation

2) Discovery

3) Design

4) Development

5) Deployment

6) Handover to Ops

7) Closedown

8) Project Management [separate out the PM time here]
=100%

I plan to collate and let people know the results, so please have a go by leaving your estimate in the comments below.

Cheers
Rob
