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:
Non-essential
Just a supplement
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.
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.
