Conditioning time is highly dependent on the yeast strain. I'm assuming you have done adequate bulk conditioning so the beer isn't green going into the bottles; this usually means 4-5 weeks in the fermenter, or longer if it's a high ABV beer.
I had a Wit carbed in five days. Since it's a Wit it's ready to drink once it's carbed, no need to let the yeast flocc out.
For a low flocc strain like Cali ale, 3 weeks is a minimum. 4-5 is better. Yeast taste = bad. Ick. It takes awhile for the yeast to settle out after the beer is carbonated.
For a high flocc strain like WLP002, rocking the bottles (gently) every couple of days for the first week helps tremendously to speed up carbonation. Once it's fully carbed, it's ready to go, you will know because held up to the light the beer will be clear!
Many commercial breweries filter their beer and add a highly flocculant yeast strain (even a lager strain) to bottle condition their beers, so they won't have issues with cloudy beer.
