I guess you are talking about US, since 5 years is standard from beginning constructions.

China built a few Ap1000 designs. The Sanmen station started in 2009 with completion expected in 2014 (2015 for the second unit). It went into 2019. The second, Haiyang, went about the same.

This is pretty similar to what happened in the US with Volgte.

Interesting, that was not what happened in my country. Sometimes it does take 8 years from allowance to finishing, but that's it.
