I'm on the last stage (just need about 2,000 energy zaps to finish!) and I can honestly say that collecting those drawing pieces was BY FAR the toughest part of the upgrade. I don't remember how long it took but it was months, I'm sure, even when I was trying to always buy the bottom item in the shop. Sorry, but you just have to be patient.

The good news is that waiting for the drawings to show up means you have plenty of time to gather the other necessary resources. By the time I got to the next stages I had all the blueprints for the Surf Stations, plenty of keys, lots of pearls/rings/shells, and even all of the large economy and time scrolls. The other stages have been kind of a breeze -- mostly just slogging through the energy zaps and collecting the cash.
