It probably IS a huge amount of work.
If the original assumptions made during the design phase of a program do not allow for the addition of unknown future data it is generally not programming time efficient to replace them unless the code is written in discrete self contained chunks that can be removed and rewritten as a whole. That is generally why programs need a complete rewrite every 5 years or so. Things change.
