There is no direct evidence to give a tight dating to Sonnet 29. However, the biography pointed to within the entire sequence of Shakespeare's Sonnets suggests that this poem was composed around 1592/3. Read more on this in The Biography in Shakespeare's Sonnets at the link below.
Interestingly, events at that time also suggest difficulties in Shakespeare's life. The economy was depressed and the London theatres were closed for much of the period - denying income to most people in show business. Robert Greene, a fellow author, died at a relatively young age in September 1592, largely due to poverty. He appears to have lambasted Shakespeare as an upstart imitator or plagiarist of his betters (in a publication, Groatsworth of Wit, appearing shortly after Greene's death).
