Learning how to write research

How long does it take an ER Associate to become good at actually writing updates and reports? i.e. to learn what meat needs to go into the research as opposed to just regurgitating earnings or drawing projections off of a model? One Associate told me they worked on a 100 page report for their analyst. I can't imagine coming up with ten pages of research let alone 100.. Any thoughts?
