That's an invalid syntax: the default value of a class property must be
a static_scalar, that is a simple number, a string or an array of these
items. Other expressions are not allowed.
Here is a chunk from the EBNF syntax of PHP 5:

static_scalar = common_scalar
| T_STRING
| "+" static_scalar
| "-" static_scalar
| "array" "(" [static_array_pair_list] ")"
| static_class_constant ;

static_array_pair_list = static_array_pair { "," static_array_pair } [","] ;

static_array_pair = static_scalar ["=>" static_scalar] ;

Check the official BNF syntax Zend/zend_language_parser.y
(http://www.icosaedro.it/articoli/php-syntax-yacc.txt)
or the equivalent EBNF syntax translated by me from that file
(http://www.icosaedro.it/articoli/php-syntax-ebnf.txt)

So, expressions like "60*30" aren't allowed. Use "1800" instead.
