Before they develop assets, they have to figure out a framework and workflow, which is what they figured out during Remake. Even if the majority of the characters and environments are new, they still get to reuse the engine, and systems like the UI, physics, combat, and rendering can be tweaked from Remake instead of needing to be made from scratch.
Often times the most time consuming part is the team figuring out how they're going to do it. Remember how much time was wasted on Versus 13?
