Why does installing Big Sur takes 2 hours and 19 minutes after factory reset?

Hey, so recently, I decided to factory reset. It was going well, until the installation of Big Sur. It said that it will take 2 hours and 19 minutes to finish, but I've already donwloaded it for about 6 hours or so. I tried to fix it by retarsting my macbook, but when I tried to install it again, it still said 2 hours and 19 minutes. Any ideas how to fix this?

There are factors like poor Wifi connection, slow wifi connection, too many other people downloading at the same time and Apple Severs are overloaded.
