That varies from mix design to mix design and in highly influenced by the weather (temperature and humidity). Concrete can be made to reach initial set in under and hour, or can be delayed for days if needed.
A typical mix on moderate conditions may take a 2 to 3 hours to reach initial set.
Initial set is just the first 500 psi... it will continue to hydrate and "set" as long a moister is present. Concrete can continue to gain strength for months, years and even decades (though less and less and time goes on).

Setting time refers to the time it takes for a material to change from a liquid or plastic state to a solid or rigid state. In construction, setting time typically refers to the time it takes for materials such as cement, concrete, or plaster to harden or set. Setting time is an important factor to consider when working with these materials to ensure proper curing and strength development.

What is initial Setting time?
An arbitrary division has been made for the setting time of cement as initial setting time and final setting time.It is difficult to draw a rigid line between these two arbitrary divisions.For convenience,initial setting time is regarded as the time elapsed between the moment that the water is added to the cement,to the time that the paste starts losing its plasticity.The final setting time is the time elapsed between the moment that the water is added to the cement ,and the time when the paste has completely lost its plasticity and has attained sufficient firmness to resist certain definite pressure.
