A380 Engine Change

Perhaps someone here could put me right - I am told that an engine change on the A380 would take around 12-15 hours but is then followed by 3 days or so for the nacelle fixing to 'cure' - can this be true?

Singapore Airlines A380's engine failure no drama: Airbus

Speaking in Paris, Louis Gallois, chief executive of Airbus manufacturer EADS: "This airplane would have been able to reach its destination with three engines out of four with no difficulty."
Singapore Airlines said the A380 could have continued the flight on its three remaining engines.
So why did it turn back to Paris ?

Well, they should not have been careening and plummeting back to CDG 1000' feet over the nursing home and elementary school
