This varies widely depending upon the species and the individual. I'll give three examples: humans, cows and horses.
From the water breaking to the placenta being discharged, some human females can take as little as 2 hours while other females are in labor for 2 days.
In cattle, from the water breaking to the placenta being discharged, some cows can clear the calf and placenta in 3 hours, while other cows may retain the placenta for 4 days.
In horses, from the water breaking to the placenta being discharged, a mare needs to get everything done within about 6 hours or she is in a life-threatening medical emergency.
