I don't know what "substantial" means but, say, in a 3 day long ticket, surely all sorts of issues found in review can easily force another day or so of work.

Anything over half a day would be substantial, but really I'd consider any post code review fix that takes longer than an hour to be a red flag that we're not communicating effectively.

As I alluded to earlier, I've never encountered these sorts of problems in the healthy companies I've worked at (but I HAVE encountered them at unhealthy companies).
