The construction of a simple castle, as a motte and bailey on an existing tump, could take less than a year. According to the Wikipedia artlcle on castles, the cosntruction of such a simple castle on a mound 5 meters high and 15 meters across could be done by 50 workers in 40 days. (see link below)

Back then you really needed to watch the weather, make sure your structure was not crumbling, make sure your tools were in good shape, and that the workers were doing what they were supposed to be doing.

Construction on Bodiam Castle was begun in 1385, and the castle was built rather quickly, in a single effort. It was completed before the owner died in 1395, and is thought to have been completed in about 1392.
Chepstow Castle was built in fits and starts over the period of 1067 to 1300. I did not find any record that indicate how much of this time was actually spent on construction, but the impression I get is that it was not much more than 20 or 25 years.
