I was rewatching IM 2 about a week ago, and that had me too. We don't know how long did it take for Vanko to complete the  Reactor, but surely more than a day. Why? Because Anton died roughly at the same time when Tony Stark said:"I'm Iron man." But,  after Vanko goes through the blueprints we can see his walls with newspapers  saying "Tony Stark is Iron Man", "Tony Stark wants to save the world", Russian articles with "железный человек" and most importantly I believe the small article "Mom of 3 pulled out of fire" and next to it the head of Tony, signifying that after the Battle with Stane he had saved people. To strenghten this argument there are 2 other article titles" Iron Man stabilizes East-West Relations " and " Pepper Potts discusses Tony, the suit, and how to keep her figure"

SO, this I believe shows that it took Vanko quite a lot of time to finish  the reactor, (based on the articles), and as the 6 months after was shown after that, we can assume it that more than 6 months passed between the two movies, OR  Vankos time making the reactor was during that 6 months. Still that Civil War quote created a lot of uncertainty about that.
