I agree with the others. You won't change him. Take your vacation time, or if you give it up demand to be compensated.

My father in law thought the company he worked for wouldn't survive if he took his vacation. He ended up losing over 2 years of paid vacation.

Does the department head need the time estimate for scheduling in his department?

Are you required to give him the estimate?

Do you have a department head that should be dealing with this instead of you?

If you absolutely have to give the time estimate figure how long it will take if everything goes well. Add 15-20%. Add in time for all of your other duties. Don't forget to include your vacation time.

When you give him the estimate make it very clear the estimate is a baseline and anything unexpected that pops up will add to the duration of the project. The 15-20% should cover allot of that but don't tell him that.

Also make it very clear to him that having to do these time estimates just puts you farther behind.
