Graveminds (or at least Proto-Graveminds) do form relatively quickly. In both Halo 1 and Last Voyage of the Infinite Succor (part of the Halo Graphic Novel), Proto-Graveminds formed in less than 3 days.

I'm not saying the 1 day the Covenant was on Installation 05 was enough time for the Gravemind to form, but just that it wouldn't necessarily take very long if the resources were there.
