Zero. It has been done already.

Just mine YAC after August 13. It seems GPUs stop working at all after that date.

hahaha, there is no such thing, unless its a algo that cant be parallelized, so many coins were thought to be GpU resistant, and now? look at litecoin. GPU are superior to cpus in making the simple yet repetitive calculations that make up mining algos. people are gpu mining yac already and by august efficiency will be above 90%

Can someone familiar with the bitcoin code estimate what it would cost to develop a coin that can be mined less than twice as fast (preferably slower) on a GPU?

TacoTime lists some Intel data that shows a radix sort or a tree search algorithm can be done faster on a CPU:
