Well based on your description, the buffing part shouldn't take more than 2 to 3 hours including finishing with a coat of wax. Do you need it washed and clayed? That's about 1.5hrs in addition.
Scratch/egg repair is dependent on how long it takes for the touch up to dry before sanding. Of course, anyone can just put on touch up paint and be done with it, but I don't do that. In fact, it drives me nuts to see bad touch up paint especially on metallics. In most cases, no touch up looks better than bad touch up.
My process has two applications of touch up. First application is wetsanded down, and touchup is reapplied, and sanded down again, before being blended and buffed. The result is nearly seamless. That is assuming that the scratch can't be buffed or wetsanded out in the first place, but like I said, for an egg--you will have to add paint, not remove it, to make it look better.
If you've already got a buyer for the car, and you're not looking to try to increase the resale value of it by making it look better than it currently is, then it sounds like the priority is on what's cheapest and fastest, but if you don't have a buyer yet, and are concerned that these defects will diminish the potential value for a sale, then you need to decide then maybe doing a more quality job is in the cards.
