When you built the 200 hours in 4 months, were you working at all? Or just flying full-time?
That's not how it works, you do not just get handed a commercial certificate by having 250 hours and passing the written. He will need to perform the training requirements of the commercial certificate and be proficient enough in the maneuvers to have a CFI sign him off for the practical. Depending on the training he has had so far through 200 hours, it could take him significantly more then 250 hours.
