It will entirely depend on the resources that your team currently has. For our team we split the workload between tasks that needed high precision, and those that could get by on COTS parts or with less precision. The team did manual fabrication on the latter while our sponsor machined the parts that we had designed. The design + CNCing took roughly the same amount of time as the manual fabrication did, so we were able to move to integration much quicker than before.
