That depends on your general programming skills. A good programmer, working full time, should be able to come up to speed with kernel hacking in a couple of weeks. Once you have basic kernel programming fluency, programming a new scheduler plugin can take from a couple of days to many weeks. Generally speaking, the more "interesting" your scheduler is from a synchronization perspective, and the more efficient you want to make it, the more time you need to budget. Building it isn't hard, debugging it is.

Good luck. :-)
