How long does it take for a sedimentary rock turn into a metamorphic rock?

Answer:
Sedimentary rock metamorphosis can occur very rapidly ( in geologic terms) as is the case with skarn, a contact metamorphic rock, or quite slowly as is the case with slate, which has proceeded through metamorphism in stages from mud to mudstone to shale to slate, a process taking millions of years.
