A bill of material (BOM) woud help to estimate the necessary effort. The 
BOM should include the package of the parts, especially of the connectors 
and special ICs. So it can be seen whether or not all footprints are 
available in the existing pcb libs. 

Maximum PCB size matters. An otherwise unspectacular layout task can get 
really nasty if the maximum allowed size is below a certain threshold. 
Again, a BOM would help to estimate.

If cost is a factor, why not aim for four layers but slightly larger size?
