Soemtmes the Superscuce is highly portable like Centrum's tiny "stunners" (see Infinite Worlds) but even Infinity can't replicate those.

At any rate even if we're talking "portable" Superscience the answer is a minimum of _years_ without a Gadgeteer. Unless it's some sort of very special Superscience that the GM wants to spread wildly.
Superscience doesn't tell us that something is complex or difficult. It just tells us that it's impossible, but works anyway. Trivial reverse engineering and impossible reverse engineering are equally appropriate.
