Three years should be enough for a decent project to go from inception to production. Realistically you will join a big project in mid-progress so three years is def enough.
I agree with grandop that 5 years is prob the time limit before moving becomes very important unless (1) you are in organizational leadership (you drive vision and with success get fu money) (2) you are being continuously rapidly promoted in a large company.
