Sorry to keep posting, but I disagree with this. Burnout has existed since I've been doing FIRST.

For me, the burnout level greatly increased starting in 2003 with the introduction of autonomous mode. That added 1 - 3 weeks of development and testing work (depending on the game) but the build season stayed at 6.5 weeks.
