Each confirmation takes an average of 10 minutes.

It can take a few second to an hour or more for one confirmation.

Does that answer your question?
Our family was terrorized by Homeland Security.  Read all about it here:  http://www.jmwagner.com/ and http://www.burtw.com/  Any donations to help us recover from the $300,000 in legal fees and forced donations to the Federal Asset Forfeiture slush fund are greatly appreciated!

As Burt said, between 10 minutes and an hour is most likely. You can pay a small miners fee to speed the process up. You can see a graph of the average times here: https://blockchain.info/charts/avg-confirmation-time

I think there not really a maximum time, it just stays in the transaction pools of the miners until maybe a timeout.

Just a little side note.
Even with no confirmation, if (a) all inputs are confirmed, (b) the tx has reasonable fee, and (c) there is no double spend detected in 10 seconds or so, the tx will very likely be included later.
Of course, if you are transfering or receiving a rather large amount, you should get at least 6 confirmations before proceeding the next step.
