How Long Should a Complete Motor Build Take Realistically?

2 weeks of labor that takes place over 8-16 months.

Note: Its ALWAYS worth buying a spare engine to build, then swapping it over when done. This way you can continue to live your normal life with a functioning car (unless you already blew the engine). It is easily worth the cost of the extra engine to spare yourself the stress of a car sitting around in a thousand pieces. Build a spare engine, swap it in over a weekend.
