As long as you keep it stored between a couple sheets of plywood to keep it flat after pressing you can wait as long as you like.

A suggestion about the contact cement. Rather than applying contact cement to the entire surface, mask off about an inch around the edge of the cabinet top and two ply, apply the contact cement, remove the masking tape and apply yellow glue in this area. This way the contact cement will adhere most of the two ply to the cabinet top and the perimeter can be clamped. With this approach the two ply can never “lift” around the edges as you have clamped and glued this with the yellow glue rather than letting the contact cement go all the way out to the cabinet top edges.
