Let’s check the Estimated installation time for SCCM Application. The estimated installation time displays to the user when an application installs. With Configuration Manager, You can configure application properties to provide estimated runtime information to the end-user in Software Center.
The estimated install time option allows administrators to specify how long they anticipate that an application will take, at most, to complete the installation. In SCCM Applications properties, the value you specify for Estimated Runtime for each deployment type is displayed to the user while installing the available software for users in the software center.
Microsoft provides many options for SCCM Applications to provide a better user experience. You can use Software Center Icon for SCCM Application Deployment. More Details Easy Steps Software Center Icon for SCCM Application Deployment

Hello, I just have a quick question related to that. As you have specified Estimated time here, can we specify the download size, Total components etc ? or does it updated automatically after installation. Currently when the app is in available mode, those details are not updated. Like Estimated time shows not specified (though I have updated in SCCM) & download size as less than 1 MB etc.
Any inputs ?
Hi Irfan,
The download size is automatically calculated when you install an application. How many such applications you getting indication >1MB Size!
