There are a lot of fruitless hours spent reading paper after paper and textbook after textbook during a PhD. That wastage decreases over time as students learn how to do research better, but early on it is a real fight. | |

Most students only take that long since they have never learned how to structure work efficiently and make it goal oriented. If I had to do my Ph.D. again, I'd could do it in a 3rd of the time and still hold down a full time job on the side. That was one of my key eye openers when changing from academia to industry. So if the OP has relevant project managements experiences from the real world, this may indeed be possible. | |
