Surely there's a better way; something instantaneous that doesn't involve a days-long wait?

Is the grammar above correct? Particularly, should 'days-long' be hyphenated, and should it contain a possessive apostrophe? Note: "days" in the above is strictly plural e.g. 7-10 days

    Although I can only find the standard adjective daylong in dictionaries, there are many examples on the internet of the form 'a days-long event/competition/search ...'. No apostrophe, as per 'daylong'. – Edwin Ashworth Feb 23 '21 at 19:55

    The hyphen is correct, but the construction is clunky. Perhaps: Surely there's a better way—something instantaneous that doesn't involve days of waiting. – Tinfoil Hat Feb 23 '21 at 19:57
