Leigh, perhaps it would clear the waters somewhat if you could describe how
to measure/calculate/estimate this time period for some simple system. In
principle, of course; we don't need to actually do it.
In order to contribute more substance, maybe I should make a stab at it.
Take the initial quantum state, and propagate it with the Schrodinger
eq. until there is a non-zero probability of finding the system in each
state considered to be accessible. Does that work for everyone?
