We don't really have a shop hour rating we can give for the install of the Blue Ox base plate kit part # BX1715 that fits your 2014 Chevy Malibu but you will end up removing and reinstalling the fascia, PS headlight, bumper, horn and air baffle so you might start with the time for going that far into the vehicle. I also attached an install instructions link that will walk you through the entire process. I'd set aside a few hours but it's really hard to say exactly.
I've asked the shop guys here what they think the time would be and they usually say "set aside an afternoon/evening and you'll have enough time".
