The whole class is 55 minutes, and I honestly plan for most presentations (except for maybe one or two) to be pushed to tomorrow.
Unless a miracle happens, presentation will zoom by in less than 20 minutes - this particular group of students don't really go all-out on assignments and do as little work as possible.
I expect some groups will get really stuck or some of them "stuck" - I have a lot of kids who are really bright, but lazy in that they want me to feed them the answers to everything. I expect a LOT of literal interpretations of the topic, but as always, I remain hopeful that this will be the project that will fire these students up.
