Does a 12 month IT developer contract exist anymore?

Does it really take 12 months to develop something nowadays? Are you expecting to be taken on as a developer to spend 12 months working on different projects?

I've recently started a 12 month development project - all the same project, with a likely extension of another 6 months.

I admit it's pretty rare though.

and why is a 12 month contract more lucrative that 3 4 month renewals?

... and WSS.

One company I know is in the middle of completely re-platforming all their customer facing transactional websites and replacing most of the back office applications. They are approaching the 5th year of the programme and their main website still pretty much looks the same as several years ago...

So yes, it seems like it can still take >12 months to develop something!
