Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

Waiting for defandant to be transported.

If a judge gave the defendant a court order to be transported from Miami-Dade county to West Palm Beach county, how long does the defendant have to wait? Is there a maximum of how long he can be detained if they never pick him up? How does that work? Thank you for your time.
