It’s really only 8 months to go as the end of October should finalise the deal that has then to be ratified by the Governments of each of the 27 countries and that will take up to four months.

Guardian says
Mr Barnier has said he wants the terms of Britain’s EU exit agreed by Autumn 2018, having previously indicated he would like to have an exit deal agreed within 18 months of Article 50 being triggered, or by October 2018.

It is hoped all this will be concluded by Christmas, by which point Britain is expected to be in the final stages of its withdrawal from the EU and ready to formally leave the bloc on March 29, 2019.
