May seems a bit close given we haven't voted on title or icon yet.
If just the title and the icon are needed to finish the pack then it will be done by the time of voting and they could technically consider it finished as soon as the voting closes and they announce the winner. This round of voting is due in late April if I remember correctly.
They'll have to do the artwork.
What artwork? The objects we voted on last time? Don't know how long that would take, but they are not so many.
They'll need to render the "cover" art (I know it doesn't have a box, but they still do art as if it does) and put together a trailer. To a certain degree, they can do that without the icon and title, but depending on the title it may impact character and item placement (the sample could leave either too much space or too little.)
The items we voted on also need to be modeled and textured, and the interactive ones have suitable programing and animations attached, but presumably that's been in progress since just after the vote was tallied.
OK, so it may take a week for cover art, maybe a bit longer for the trailer. The objects are mostly furniture and decorative, there are only two that offer new gameplay, the rocking chair and the knitting basket. Then I guess they'll also need to do testing.
