How long does it take for a glycoprotein to be synthesised de novo, processed in the ER/Golgi apparatus and transported to the cell membrane?

The trafficking time probably depends on the specific protein, but a ballpark average time is what I'm after.

It's highly dependent on the specific protein, but as a ballpark it is on the order of a few hours. 
There is nothing specific about glycosylation, as compared to other semi-permanent post-translational protein modifications, in terms of timeline for synthesis, modification and transport.

 The time it takes for a glycoprotein to be synthesized de novo, processed in the ER/Golgi apparatus, and transported to the cell membrane can range from a few minutes to several hours, depending on various factors related to protein size, complexity, and glycosylation.
