It depends.
Adding a simple form costs at most 2 hours, so I alone could do 4 a day.
Often this happens exactly so.

Depending on the form of course, there are also complex forms which take
much more time, up to a week.

I ran a quick count:
The exact count of client-side forms is currently 1566.
The server contains 450 datamodules, and over 2300 'exposed' queries.
(there are 400 tables in the database).

A second application has 1359 client-side form files, and 216 server datamodules.

Both counts are without counting the 134 'framework' forms, common to all our
applications.

Yes. But as said, many simple forms need almost no code. 
All do need a single line to register them in the form factory.
