Word denoting “the time it took to assign a task to somebody”?

What is the time it took to give a person a task? A web page designed for a specific project uses this word. The task could be assigned individually, or by any individual. The task could be assigned in a particular moment.

  Task#: 123 Assigned to: MR. Nobody Assigned  : 10 minutes  

The first thing that hits my mind is to use “Assigned in: 10 minutes” but I think es not trivial. Should a phrase be used to describe the idea, but not be vague?

Any alternative phrases to communicate this idea is also

appreciated.

as I noted in a comment above, I think that “Assigned within: 10 minutes”. is difficult to misunderstand, and seems narrower (in a good way) than “Assigned in: 10 minutes. (To start with: 3 Minutes).” “Of course the response is subjective. This one was asked “”of course,” according to

an average one message ask etc….”That’s right!

If indeed it is meant as the time it took to establish or set the assignment then for me “in” is most correct.

How do I make the ability to speak English more fluently and effectively, including teaching Spanish and French?

Instead, a time assignment like this might be intended to mean the “duration” allowed, allocated or given to complete the task in the future.

Can we know whether a task gets done or not from the context? The intended meaning is the time given for the task instead of setting the assignment, then I would recommend use of the word “duration”, e.g., when my job is done! “Estimated Duration: 10 minutes”
