Ship 4 replacement motors to the test site because you didn't plan for a failure: 2 days
Install the replacement engines (you removed the existing ones while waiting for the replacements, right?): At worst, one day per engine.
Refuel: 1 day. Boy, that's not how things work at NASA. They would have weeks of meetings before doing anything.

so to avoid failure, don't do anything “Failure is not an option” ceased to be NASA’s manned space flight slogan sometime prior to January 1986. The slogan since then has been “Failure is not a problem.”
