T'Challa offers that Bucky can come to Wakanda, and they agree, but T'Challa says that first he has to deliver Ross, and Steve and Bucky say that they too have things to deal with first, but T'Challa agrees to keep in touch.

We know that then T'Challa delivered Zemo and Steve liberated his friends and he and Bucky dropped them all home.

So, when we leave off with T'Challa, it's June 24th and he's dropped off Zemo. When we leave off with Steve and Bucky, it's June 28th and they've just dropped off Wanda.

We know that by July 3rd, Bucky is already in Wakanda. So, somewhere from June 28th-July 3rd, Bucky was dropped off.

T'Challa returns home for the first time since his father's death on June 29th. I doubt that Bucky would have gone to Wakanda before T'Challa returned, as they would want T'Challa to be the one to let them in. My best guess here is that, especially since T'Challa says that he will keep in touch with them once his pressing matters are dealt with, after his coronation and his visit to the ancestral plane he then contacts Steve and Bucky to let them know it's safe to come.

I would guess then that Bucky arrives the following morning, probably just before the market and rhino paddock scenes. He is allowed in, and Shuri begins working on him. However, they then find out about Klaue later that day, and about the deal in Busan happening the next day, and the urgency kicks in. The Bucky situation is put to one side.

This also means Bucky is arriving on July 1st, which falls nicely in the middle of the dates in which he could have arrived.

On July 3rd, Shuri then mentions that she has another broken white boy to fix. Once the battle is over on July 6th, she can then return to her project.

Around July 24th, "weeks" after June 28th, Steve has also come to Wakanda (if he wasn't already there). T'Challa tells him that they have come to the conclusion that the best way to treat Bucky will be to put him into cryogenic freeze. And so he is, and the Captain America: Civil War credits scene occurs.

Works pretty nicely. Just would've been nice if they made it clearer. I like it. That works out nicely. Also now that I think about it, Ryan Coogler in the same podcast says some stuff that kind of hints Bucky was present during the huge battle sequence in Black Panther but for policitcal reasons, it would have been problematic to have a white assasin shooting black people, lol.

Also, we could assume that Bucky doesn't arrive until after Killmongerer's death and that Shuri was only aware that she would have to work on Bucky when he arrived. That might be simpler than assuming Bucky was there but just decided to not help out in the fight or couldn't for some reason.
