I've only ever had this happen once, but I was given as much time as I needed to complete the assignment. IMO, if you have to put a lot of time and work into a project for a company you don't work for, and that might not even hire you after you complete the project, you are wasting your time. (I am sure this might be an unpopular opinion, but it's just one opinion of many when it comes to these types of interviews)

Interview projects should assist a company in evaluating skills not in getting free consulting. When I used interview projects I gave an estimated time to complete usually 2 to 3 hours and 1 week to complete. The interview project needed to be share during interviews.
