Is 5 years the optimum amount of time to build a Contending team from Scratch?

OKC-Started with drafting Durant in 2007, made Finals in 2012.
GSW-Drafted Curry in 2009, won Finals in 2015
LAC-Drafted Griffin in 2009 and traded for CP3 in 2011
IND-Drafted George in 2010, made ECF before the team lost their starters

Best way is to collude -> Boston,Miami, Cleveland

one free agent summer instant contender.

Since it takes 5 years for most modern players to reach their primes, probably.

Step 1, get a top 10 nba player. Step 2...don't have crappy players around him. The timing is all about when you get step 1 taken care of.
