The process took about 2 years and cost ~$500-1000 all in.
But that's all anecdotal, and if you were thinking of some other method/country then I have no idea.

This is a big thing to consider. I got my Irish passport via my parents so it was a relatively smooth process since they had easy access to all the documentation they needed. I was also under 18, which I think made it easier as well. If the eligibility is via a grandparent who may or may not be alive and may not have much proper documentation can make it a lot more difficult.
