How long does it typically take for whey protein to have an effect on bodybuilding, weight loss, or weight gain?

You need to move away from the thought that whey in itself will have any direct impact on any of those. This is because it is:

Just a supplement

Not regulated

Clearly, it “could” potentially help as part of a lifestyle that promotes any of the three things you mentioned. But those take 4 major factors, of which nutrition is just 1 factor, as well as consistency. And only then might you see or feel results in a couple to a few weeks.

Protein alone is not a miracle drug and will not “trigger” any process to start building muscle or anything like that unless your lifestyle holistically demands it.

Non-essential

The International Boxing Association said that Khelif and Lin competing in Paris Olympics were disqualified from the tournament for testing positive for XY chromosomes which give an unfair advantage in the women’s division. What do you think?
