Lincoln had it ready by July 1862, even as he made his speech about not wanting to attack slavery.
But he could not issue it while the Confederates were winning so many battles - it would have looked like a desperate gesture.
He had to wait for a Union win, which came earlier than expected, in September. He issued the Proclamation immediately afterwards - to be effective from January 1st 1863.

It was in the summer of 1862, when Lee's sudden string of victories had encouraged the British to consider sending military aid to the Confederacy. If Lincoln could announce a new war-aim - to destroy slavery - then the British could not aid the South without looking pro-slavery themselves.
But his cabinet pointed out that this would look like a desperate measure. Lincoln would have to wait for a Union victory before he could issue the Proclamation with any credibility. This victory came, unexpectedly, in September, and Lincoln issued the Proclamation a few days later. He gave the state governors three months to decide whether to abolish slavery in their own state and bring it back into the Union. None of them did. So the Proclamation was declared effective from January 1st 1863.
Lincoln wrote the Emancipation Proclamation on Sept 4, 1862 after the battle at Antietam.
