That's entirely up to you. I suggest using the sourcebook dates as
guidelines -- by the time it's in a book, it's available to everyone. The
time you're looking for can be guesstimated by the type of item and its
complexity; I'd say several years for complex cyberware (like reflex
enhancements) to only a few months for simpler stuff like a combat axe.
Some things would not have development times at all -- secure clothing,
for example, probably wouldn't get "field-tested" in this way at all.
In the end, it's completely the GM's decision when something becomes
available.

Thanks :)

Part of the reason why it only lists the dates for whole books is that
neither do I.
