How long does Intel make CPUs for a socket?

How long does Intel, or AMD(I guess), make CPUs for a specific socket, i.e. LGA 1150 or LGA 1151?

Years.
Whatever the newest current one....the one 3 generations down the road is already in design.

It depends on the manufacturer of the chip. Its the chip node is decreases it usually means a new socket will replace the old. More often than not, intel will replace there socket on a generation by generations basis. AMD will typically maintain backwards compatibility for two generations and then switch socket (like am2 processor will work on am3 boards).

LGA 1150 was released 2014.
LGA 1151 was released 2015.

MAYBE a year.

And the design process started when?

The latest intel sockets remain for two cpu generations:
1155 - 2gen Sandy Bridge and 3gen Ivy Bridge.
1150 - 4gen Haswell and 5gen Broadwell.
1151 - 6gen Skylake, and almost sure 7gen Kaby Lake.

It has some relation with tick/tock roadmap, but they have just changed to a Process/architecture/optimization, so there can be a 3gen socket in the future.
But you can still find/buy older gen CPU's if you need to replace for a specific socket.

Op asked how long they are made, not how long they are developed.

"How long does Intel make CPUs for a socket? "
I read it differently.

Oh well...
