It only took a couple of months to get buildings put up and the airfield made once the Marines and Army reached the airfield of the Japanese. They started resurfacing the airfield at Iwo Jima long before the Japanese were defeated on that island. The Sea Bees were being shot at while they worked on the field. So they managed to get it done within a week or more. There were pilots who landed on that airfield doing emergency landings before they totally completed that runway.

The Japanese took several months to prepare for the fight at Iwo Jima. They knew they couldn't win but were hoping to keep down the causalities.
