    On freshly plastered walls, yes. 30 to 60 days to dry. If it were traditional lime plaster, six months to two years for the plaster to fully cure & harden.

    For any house that has been standing for a couple of years or more, give the primer a day or two to dry. The plaster underneath will have dried out long ago.
    Any language construct that forces such insanity in this case should be abandoned without regrets. –
