A lesson learned early on in project management - clearly define the scope and requirements. I guess they are not using the new Alpha template that is supposed to help get the job done a whole lot quicker. Tough to speculate on how/why it would take so long; but given you know what you are in for ($95*33hours), you may want to calculate the total cost of changing the scope in the middle of the project. Chances are you may end up spending even more. Would love to see a detailed specification of what you are asking for/getting. Did they do any mock ups, walk through, etc. to ensure your requirements have been fully captured, or are you going to get an incomplete solution on delivery? I'd be happy to give it a go for fun (I'm not in it for the money), but doubt I could get it done in the time you'd want, especially not being able to sit down to fully understand requirements.
