There are many different types of Oscars that vary in size growth and related time. The popular aquarium Oscar is an Amazon native and can easily grow from 2" to 12-16" in a home aquarium within 3-7 years and live up to 15 years.
I have 17 Oscars, which have grown at various speed and size, the fastest being a male albino which grew from 3" in 1999 to now 10" in 2007.

some bread of oscars never acctualy stop growing they grow to a large size in thier tank and continue very slowly other oscars take arround two years if thier tank is large enough but the bigger the tank the bigger the fish, i had a tiger oscar in a good size tank for three years and when i upgraded to a larger tank he grew again so it depends on what size tank you have. The largest oscar i have seen was the size of a 10 inch wheel

Providing an excellent sized tank is a very important part of the proper and healthy growth of a fish. Also, it will grow better if you give it a good quality food. Make sure you keep the water quality excellent by doing proper water changes and tank maintenance. If you give your oscar all of the best care, it should reach full size within 2 years.

It depends on a lot of things. Like food, tank size, wter quality, temperature etc... but if well cared for in an adequately sized tank about 2 years.
