Sculpture is as the artist does.

Sculpture (Arthur 1) in the final stages of clean-up and detailing before drying to hardened clay. Once completely dry it will be ready for firing.

Seriously, there is no time limit to when you finish. Of course, if you're doing work for someone, and have made arrangements to complete the work for them in some time frame, well, then you have a time frame.
The key to creation is thought. Once you're on a roll, it's magic in the making.
On average, I would spend at least 40 hours of dedicated work per sculpture. This is not calculated, but just happens to be my average.
Other times, the sculpture may take longer due to a change of heart, or another idea coming into play.
Overall, it's hard to gauge when the sculpture is actually complete... for some it's never done, and for others a sculpture is finished in a matter of minutes. It all depends upon the artist. The artist is the one creating, and they are the decision-makers as to how long it will take.
