I think the DMAC varies more from person to person. It also might depend on your sponser. My best guess would be 2 months though.

What do you mean by "sponsor"? What is their role in this?

Sorry, it's supervisor, not sponsor. Their role is to assist you in identifying your project and to review your paper and make suggestions. They are basically the only person allowed to do this. They must be an FSA with at least 3 years experience.

My supervisor had a lot of experience in what I choose to write on. Every few days we would meet and I would ask him a bunch of questions. I would work that information into my report. Rinse and repeat.

Yes, if there isn't someone that meets the requirements you can reccomend one or work with the SOA to come up with a suggestion. All of this information is in the instructions once you sign up for DMAC.
