If your project can answer yes to all these questions then it’s worth investigating further if you have an R&D claim.

How long can it take to process the claim?

HMRC do not have a KPI for claims involving tax relief, payment times depend on the processing speed of your Corporation Tax Office. These are generally good, and 4-6 weeks is not untypical. For an SME payable R&D Tax Credit the KPI is 95% in 28 days. HMRC, in recent years, 2018 & 2019, have not been achieving this and claims have been taking 12-16 weeks to get paid. No KPI exists for RDEC and recent processing has been very slow.
