In these days, how long does it take for a H1b holding engineer from a "rest of the world" country to get green card via EB2(or EB3 if faster) from the day the current company starts the progress?

Also at what stage he/she can change the job?

H1b visa is completely independent from your GC application. Your employer has to apply for your green card.

According to latest visa bulletin (Jan 2016) EB2-ROW is current and EB3-Row is 01 OCT15. It takes approx a 12-18 months to get your labor/i-140 to be approved.
