I don't know that there is a typical answer, because it depends on a lot of things: what piece it is, whether you've heard it played before, how technically difficult is it to play, how long it takes to understand it on a musical level, whether you need to play it memorized (which is the norm for concertos but not necessarily for sonatas), how difficult is it to put together with the accompaniment, how often and how long per session you practice, how effective your practice time is, how good a sight reader you are, how familiar you are with that style of music (and the technical demands it requires), and how close to ideal you expect your performance to be.
In my experience, this can range anywhere from a few hours or days to a few months--it all depends.
I think most of the time, though, (and I think I can get away with saying that this is true for professionals as well as amateurs) it boils down more to how much time we've been allotted (until the concert, recital, contest, audition, jury, etc.).
