Time should never get in the way of the enjoyment of the game. There are several charts that can be found based on travel time, which is the biggest time issue that i seem to encounter. But the average human walks 25 miles in a day at a leisurely pace if that helps.

Never spend too much time on time (pun intended), Pathfinder is a game of fun and adventure.

I would suggest, if it is difficulty you want, to not change the rules but instead include specific recipes for each item. Like the PCs have to actually find what it takes to make the item instead of a solid GP value. You can balance this by replacing some of the found loot on the loot table with the recipe items in question. It would take finesse and work but that would solve almost all your problems without having to change the rules.
