Are rebuys out of the question?
My guess is that 12 people with T-10,000 each (200 BB to start) is a lot to play through in three hours, but could happen with a really aggressive blind structure.
We do a T-5,000, either with starting stacks of 8 x 25, 8 x 100, 8 x 500 (ie 8/8/8 ); 8/13/7; or 12/12/7, depending on how many people are playing. But we have a pretty long rebuy period (5 levels) so our endgame will be different than a freezeout, and we experience considerable variance in the amount of time it takes to finish from week to week - usually anywhere from 3.5 to 5 hours.
I would think that a structure like this would finish the game in about three hours:
20-minute levels
25/50
50/100
100/200
200/400
300/600
400/800
15-minute levels
500/1000
1000/2000
1500/3000
2000/4000
There are also a lot of great structures already posted in this section of the forums. It would definately be worthwhile to do a search for structures geared toward a set of circumstances similar to yours, if you have not already.
Good luck, and keep us posted!
