There are no "set times" for any recovery as we all heal at different rates. Also each operation, response time to that trauma and rehab protocol is unique to the person who underwent the procedure.
There are some guidelines: e.g. revascularization takes place in most cases between week 6 and week 12. This is when the graft itself is most vulnerable.
Cutting and pivoting exercises should not be introduced prior to 16 weeks (nobody has given me a good reason but that is what has been quoted ad nauseum). Sometimes I felt I could do them earlier, sometimes not.
There is a doctor here on the board who advocates immediate mobilization, full weight bearing and on the stationary bike within the first 24 hours. This is for Patella Tendon grafts with bone plugs. Others promote minimal weight-bearing, use of post operative braces and no activity for the first x,y, or z days/weeks.
Read up on as many protocols as you can, learn to understand the accepted limitations at the various stages of recovery and then ask your surgeon about
your situation. Follow their protocol and the advice of the people who are treating you, i.e. physiotherapists post-operatively. If you feel you can do more then ask. If you feel the protocol is too conservative, ask why. Ultimately you can change therapists if you feel they are being too cautious, but remember that "caveat emptor" - buyer beware!
