I usually move bulbs within minutes, and really think they don't usually notice, unless I'm disturbing them enough to separate. If I just want to move them, I scoop them up with the shovel & deposit them unmolested, having dug the new hole first. Those usually bloom well, (Daffs or other bulbs,) whenever they normally would. When separating, I try to re-plant them that same day.

However, I don't dabble in named hybrids, don't often do store-bought bulbs. The hybrid plants I've bought over the years don't seem to perform as well in general, IMVHO/E, but absolutely more power to those who do like to experiment with them and have the budget to do so. Enjoy! Not knocking anything, just adding context to my anecdote. Except for trades, my bulbs are all reclaimed from abandoned home sites, found in the lawn when the grass went dormant from drought. There are 3-4 kinds in the daffodil/Narcissus category. I prefer ordinary & reliable vs. unusual but fussy &/or short-lived (unacceptable.) So, if hybrids need different treatment than old standby bulbs, still growing long after the house they used to adorn is gone, just disregard my remarks. But please still take the good vibes I wish to your bulbs!
The golden rule: Do to others only that which you would have done to you.

Try to be more valuable than a bad example.
