No actually you are wrong and the posted "catch up time" is correct.

Lets do some math here:

Lets calculate the last upgrade between Gold mine level 10 and 11.

What we need to know is that it takes 4days, production rate for level 10 is 2500, production rate for level 11 is 3000.

Construction time is total of 4(days)X 24(hours)X60(minutes)=5760(minutes)

That gives us 5760(minutes) or 96(hours)

In 96 hours at 2500p/h Gold that gives us=240,000 Gold

To make up for that 240,000 Gold that we didnt get because it was under construction we need to take the difference between the new Gold mine level 11(3000p/h) and the old Gold mine 10(2500p/h) we get 3000-2500=500p/h.

240,000 Gold is what we could of had if we didn't do the upgrade so, we are now getting an extra 500 a hour for our new level 11 Gold mine.

240,000/500=480(hours)

480(hours)/24(hours in a day)=20 Days

--Simple Way No Words--

d=Days

h=Hours

g=Gold

p/h=Per hour

(4d)X(24h)=96h

(96h)X(2500p/h)=240,00g

(240,000g)/(500p/h)=480h

(480h)/(24h)=20d

Sorry, but i looked at it and thought it didnt look right to me at first, so i had to write the calculations down to prove it to myself.
