THe thing is, they don't really have that data and even if they did it would be extremely difficult to produce. First off, the Protheans barely managed to create a one-way Mass Relay while at the hight of their civilization, which despite their stagnation was still far more advanced than the current one. Second, resources are now infinately hard to come by. Most species used the Mass Relays to find/transport resources from other planets, with them gone and many of the home planets suffering from the Reaper attacks their galactic infrastruture is practically screwed. It's like if we somehow lost all of our highways, we can still transport stuff but it would take far longer to do it.
