After setting tile, you should typically wait 24 hours before grouting to allow the adhesive to cure properly. However, the exact waiting time can vary based on the type of thin-set mortar used, so it's essential to check the manufacturer's recommendations. If the tiles were set with a fast-setting mortar, you may be able to grout sooner, but always ensure the tiles are firmly in place first.

How long should it take to tile a small bathroom that is 3 by 3 metres with very large tiles?

Depending on the tilesetter, but typically a couple days. The floor needs to be prepared and if there was any patching it may need to dry. The tilesetter may want to come back the next day. Then the tile needs to be set and if the tilesetter has good tools that should only take an hour or two. Then the mortar needs to set before the tilesetter can do the grout. Grouting should take most of a day since the grout needs to cure while it is being cleaned. You should not walk on the tile while the grout is setting up and sealing the grout should wait for a few days. The time involved isn't so much a funciton of the size of the tile job, but more a function of the mortar and grout setting times.
