How long did it take to build the Great Wall of China?

Protected question
There are many parts to the Great Wall and different emporer's had different parts built. The total time span was many centuries. The first parts were completed about 200 BC and the last parts were added over 200 years during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644).

There is no 'exactly' about the building of a large project such as the Great Wall of China. Some of it was built over 2000 years ago, several parts were added or substantially re-built over several centuries. I think the most recent rebuilding was about 500 years ago, except for those parts rebuilt very recently to aid tourism.
