Comparison given that iClassic developers are volunteering, as I would assume:

RuneScape Development on a QUEST released December 14, 2015:

Concepted by a PLAYER
Developers had to communicate with said PLAYER and agree on what to add and what not to add
Story mapped out
Legal document work
Concept art of update
3D rendering of NPCs
Scripting of everything
Re-creating the island
Writing the story script
Playtesting
Debugging
Announcement of upcoming quest
Releasing the quest
Optimization and further bug testing based on player experience and feedback
PAYCHECKS AND BUDGETS

iClassic (probable) development of the Library Nexus

Concept and agreement with developers and Unixmad
Making of GFX
Creating the levels
Scripting
Making furniture and hats
Ensuring copyright is not an issue
One week deadline (assumed from rufus' statement)
Real world issues of developers
NPC dialogue
No budget
Time

Development is NOT as easy as it seems. It is definitely NOT fast when the work is VOLUNTARY and not full-time.

Also note that the development of the RuneScape quest was not started for over 2 months due to the legal documents and concept needed to start.
