That vastly depends on how their system is set up, and if the environments will match exactly or not. The simple part of moving data to a new location may take days and even weeks. Setting up database clusters, multiple load-balanced web servers, configuring all the automation and transcoding processes for content - all of that can take weeks and even months. Ideally, the site migration would be done in the background without putting the live site offline until the very end and the switchover, but if they're already down - who knows. It's even worse if they're pulling all of that out of backups.
