Is there a list anywhere of all the things needing to be done to stop/fix/deal with the 7 deadly things in SENS? What I mean is, like, x amount of dollars here, y amount of man hours there, z amount of side effect research there etc.. ?

Its not possible to detail things to the man hour with research.

Is there a stratagy that the science community uses to make the best guess they can when dealing with un knowns like amount of man hours needed to cure a specific thing?

For example, I would think it would involve things like looking at how many researchers are working on different aspects of gerontology,

then looking at how many research hours it took to fix or remedy problems as similar as possible to those in SENS,

then estimating how many more man hours and researchers and facilities you would need from there.

Once a general amount is figured then the rest can be plotted, like amounts of labs to be built, recruiting to go on and etc.. What do you think about this? Im not here to assert anything really, Im here to bounce my thoughts around in here to help them reach the best conclusions.

de Grey has made estimates on his site http://www.gen.cam.ac.uk/sens

I suggest reading through as much of it as you can.
