time required
The amount of time needed to complete a particular task, project, or activity.
Der Zeitaufwand für die Renovierung des Hauses war deutlich höher als geplant.
The time required for renovating the house was significantly higher than planned.
This word is made up of 'Zeit' (time) and 'Aufwand' (effort/expenditure). 'Aufwand' means something like effort or expenditure. So 'Zeitaufwand' is the 'use of time' for a particular activity.
Der Zeitaufwand für die Einarbeitung neuer Mitarbeiter ist nicht zu unterschätzen.
The time required for training new employees should not be underestimated.
'Zeitaufwand' is often described with adjectives such as 'hoch' (high), 'gering' (low), 'enorm' (enormous), or 'erheblich' (considerable). Typical verbs are 'erfordern' (to require), 'bedeuten' (to mean), or to 'einschätzen' (estimate) and 'unterschätzen' (underestimate) the time required.
Wir müssen den Zeitaufwand für die Vorbereitung realistisch einschätzen.
We need to realistically estimate the time required for the preparation.
'Zeitaufwand' is often used in fixed phrases with prepositions, for example 'mit hohem Zeitaufwand' (with a high time investment) or 'ohne großen Zeitaufwand' (without much time required).
Mit geringem Zeitaufwand lässt sich hier viel erreichen.
A lot can be achieved here with little time required.
duration
„Die Dauer“ indicates how much time passes between the beginning and end of a task. „Der Zeitaufwand“ describes how much working time is devoted to it. If several people work simultaneously, the total time required can therefore be greater than the duration.
Der Zeitaufwand für die Renovierung betrug insgesamt 48 Arbeitsstunden.
The total time required for the renovation was 48 work hours.
Die Dauer der Renovierung betrug drei Tage.
The renovation took three days.
