EP's take a year or less, based on knowing that they had two teams only working on them in TS3 and (at the least the beginning years) of TS4 and they released an average slightly higher than 2 EP's per year.
GP's and SP's are faster, but how much faster, I don't really know how to estimate, because they never shared specific details of how their work is distributed on those.
Of course I am mainly focused on TS4 but I guess my thought could be extended to any game.
There are, of course, other details to take into account; morale, budget, corporate goals, public interest and team experience/efficiency levels to be some then adding environmental issues such as the pandemic, civil unrest and things like that have to play a part in it..
So if a pack takes around a year, the one that is about to be released was started around a year ago. If they only have 2 teams working on EP's, then the team working on this one will likely be starting on a new pack which will take about a year to be released. The team currently working on an undisclosed pack will then have around a year
after their pack drops before their new one will be done.
So if say 12 packs were being considered, it could take around 6 years (2 teams working non-stop) to get all 12 out.
