As an example: it depends on the rate at which existing Proof of Work miners move the chain forward. We can make an estimated guess based on the current hash rate, but miners may begin to drop off early and try to "beat the rush" to sell their used hardware before everyone else, so the hash rate could drop more than anticipated.
