Worldwide statistics

31% of software projects cancelled before completed
53% of projects cost 189% of their original estimates
16% of software projects completed on time and within budget

How long would it take an 8 member experienced team consisting of designer, developers testers and R&D engineers to build a 20 module Hospital Software. A conservative estimate would be 2 years.
 
Risks include attrition, change in government laws, technology updates, inflation, cost escalation and unclear and changing requirements.
