To be fair, they could re-start the anime right now and adapt everithing from the begining, they could not catch the LN in 10 years if they also adapt the mangas (Railgun and Accelerator) and switch betwen them. Even whithout that, it could last 6 years before catching the LN. An they can end even before that point (not that they would). Estimated as:

1 LN volume = 4 - 6 episodes*.

''*Most of the time. This series has an average of 3.5 episodes / volume, and I've seen 8 ep / vol and 2 - ep / vol.''

1 manga volume = 2 - 4 episodes**.

''**Even whider range. value chosen arbitrarily.''

1 cour = 12 - 13 episodes.

4 cours by year.

Usual writing speed.

Non-stop production.

(The years given aren't actualy acurate to the estimations, they are estimations of the acurate output of the estimations. Having breaks in prodution may actualy duplicate the time to catch.)

But it can not happen. They aren't going to reanimate that, it is realy expensive, and an actual waste of money and time. They would risk a lot if they actualy did that. Even if they wanted to be fairful to the original material, they would reuse most of the material already done (and is actualy acurate acording to the source material), as any animator studio whith acces to it would do, as it is actualy a comon practice even in Disney (unless is KyoAni, because endless eight***).

***They did not reused anithing while doing that arc, not even the voices, whitch means they animated and recorded the whole thing eight times.

Athought, the real reason they would not do that is, sadly, they don't realy care about it. If they did, they could have done it right from the bengining, not stoping production from about 5 years, having had Raingun seasons of 1 cour whithout any unneded filler (actualy having being produced 3 raingun seasons), having given more time to the index anime**** and having not fucked up the cronology at all. In fact, nowadays they could be adapting early NT (or WWIII if they not wanted to do that much) and preparing a 2 cour season for Accelerator 1st arc.

****having ended 1st s at three stories (giving it, and the following seasons, the same number of episodes), 2nd s at daihasei festival arc, 3rd s (that would actualy had ven produced) at Document of Constantine arc, 4th s at DRAGON arc (or have made it 36 episodes and ending whith World War III), and so on.

(This is, in fact, more accurate that the years said in 1st paragraph, as I only speculate that they could realisticaly have done in 8 - 9 years. 136+ episodes of something is a lot actualy. (In my (not so) humble point of view.))
