What calculation took nearly 1 week? The original MD calculation or the MM/GBSA calculation?
MM/GBSA should not take this long unless you are analyzing way too many frames. MM/PBSA calculations with decomposition might take a lot longer, depending on your settings (and normal mode calculations will take even longer still).
To estimate how long the MD simulation will take is easy -- the Amber output contains how many ns can be completed each day: divide the total simulation time you want by that metric and you get the number of days that the MD simulation will take.
To estimate how long the MM/GBSA calculation should take, analyze a subset of the frames (in your example input file, you are only analyzing 10 frames, which is good). If you have 200 frames in reality, then multiply the total time taken for 10 frames by 20 in order to get how long (approximately) it will take to finish 200 frames.
