It has already started. For example, people who hit level 110 within 24 hours saw maybe a 7-day timer on their first tier of AP research, whereas people hitting it two days later saw a 5-day timer or something like that. I don't think the timer drops below 3 days (72 hours) at this point, but I could be wrong. As the expansion gets older (we are only 4 weeks into it) the timer will be something like 24 hours (or less) for the first 10 tiers or whatever, so that people can quickly catch up to those who've been doing AP research since very early on.

Using the example above, people who started doing AP research on day 1 of the expansion will have needed to invest ~4 weeks to reach AP level 10 (using arbitrary research levels), and people starting two months later might only need 10 days or something along those lines. I have no idea if that's exactly how it'll be in my example timeframe since Blizzard hasn't given any hard numbers, but that's how I understand it.
