Why do you need to mount capacitor C2 on the back of the board?

It was done for safety reasons. If hooked up backwards it could pop.

About how much time does this project take to complete?

Hello- So much depends on how quickly one picks up the soldering skills needed. A skilled solderer will finish it quite quickly while a novice will find it a challenge. Have Fun! Andre G
