How long would it take the wormhole to form? It would have to be limited by c or violate causality.
On second thought, maybe a reasonable answer would be that it depends what the technology is, that would determine how long it took? To give a more reasonable answer(even though I know you said you wanted us to assume we had the technology already for the sake of questioning) -
I'm sure that if we do end up developing the technology to "create" a worm hole, ignoring that this will be an exponentially long time from present date, I think it will be in a much much different/weird/creative way than we think. Anything that life changing that has been discovered in history was discovered in a totally bizarre and odd way that strayed from what the "normal" view was on how to accomplish it/even theories thought to be "close" in attempts to accomplish it. I don't think it will be thought up, or discovered, or whatever in the traditional sense. Maybe we discover it without the use of technology at all?[Even though that seems pretty implausible considering a society in the future will most likely be running on almost 100% technology], but that's the type of odd way I would expect, cliche, expect the unexpected
