It's TOTALLY a judgement call.
A hypothetical set of CDs with half the sheets at 100% is 50% complete, as is that same set with all the sheets halfway complete.
We'll figure 30% will have all cover and boilerplate sheets (if you use them, such as ADA detail drawings), all plans & exterior elevations, building sections, major interior elevations; basically all the sheets, but light on annotation and details.
50% will be the same sheets with more annotation and dimensions, all enlarged (wall) sections, most enlarged section details, schedules shown but not necessarily complete.
95% is essentially complete but not ready to seal.
And this doesn't address subconsultants!

Hi
How 'bout:
1. Compare w/ old jobs:
Look at the record copies of progress-&-review prints you've shown to other Clients. If one submittal was "40%", then ballpark the progress shown, down for 30% and up for 50%. That's for realistic percents; some that I've shown as "50%" take twice-as-long to finish! The 95%, of course, is "done", with a finishing-off check...
2. Disclaimer:
It must be made clear that a "%" is a judgement call. Also, any late surprises and/or changes will be setbacks in the rate of completion.
3. My guess:
To be safe, do what you think is 40%, and submit that for the 30%... And so on...
Good luck ---
