You have no idea.
Our mob normally will do an A330 swap in under 8 hours. For an AOG situation the tools and engine arrive together on the same aircraft.
Being an LCC it would not surprise me that they don't have a spare engine which is the real delay.
Another issue sometimes is no main deck loader, most airports have loaders that do under floor loading, not all have loaders that can handle an engine from the main deck.
