Project manager asks for an estimate. You know it'll take 3 months minimum, but you also know they want to hear "next week." So you do what any rational developer does: give them a range so absurdly wide it's basically useless. An hour to 11 months? Sure. Could be done by lunch, could be done when your kid graduates middle school. Both equally plausible depending on how many "quick changes" they throw in after you start. The PM will hear "an hour" and put it in the sprint. You'll be there in 11 months explaining why authentication "took longer than expected."
