Depending on how you measure it, anywhere from 1 to 30 years.

He began developing the character of Peter Pan during "play dates" in Kensington Gardens with young George and Jack LLewelyn Davies, starting in 1897. He'd make up "facts" to tell them about Peter, and sometimes the boys would make things up, and so on. He used the character in his book "The Little White Bird" in 1902. Shortly after that he started work on a play featuring Peter, which was first produced in December 1904. But he wasn't finished with it. He continued revising the play as it was staged year after year. Somewhere along the line he started adapting it into a novel, published in 1911. The script of the play was published in 1928; Barrie probably continued to tinker with it until he died nine years later, but that was essentially the final draft of the play.
