I would definitely rank the 4 of them, going from easiest to hardest, as follows

Mirage > Mesa > Chroma > Limbo

My reasoning behind this is mainly the RNG

Mirage has absolutely no RNG to deal with, you finish the missions, get the parts and build the frame.

Mesa, getting the Alad V coordinates is somewhat annoying. But, once you have the 3+ Nav keys and team up with a few more people who have 3+ Nav keys each you're gaurenteed a mesa piece blueprint every time. Also, Mesa used to be more difficult to get when everyone was scrambling for the Nav coordinates, they are much easier to get now that more people have her.

Chroma blueprints are given to you the same way as Mirage's but you have to obtain 3 warframe part blueprints from 3 different bosses. This can very easily lead to you getting stuck thanks to RNG. For instance you only need to obtain the Saryn systems blueprint but the boss fight could just continuously drop the helmet and chassis. So you could end up farming all the parts to build 3 other warframes just to build Chroma.

Limbo is in my opinion the worst because of the excavation for the parts. Each part is found in a seperate excavation mission, and whether or not you get the part from the extraction is determined by RNG. This works out to be the same problem as when building Chroma, theres a specific reward you want but the mission is dropping the other rewards. However, Limbo has the bigger problem of being Excavation missions and anyone thats played a higher level excavation knows that things can go very wrong very fast; ie. a swarm of Helions showing up, completely ignoring you and bombarding the excavtor to death in in a couple seconds.

In conclusion, Chroma is definitely not the easiest to get but at least he's not the most difficult or, to be more realistic about it, the most annoying.
