even if for a long time vs even if for a short time

Both these phrases are correct, but they're used in different contexts. 'Even if for a long time' implies a situation that lasts a considerable duration, while 'even if for a short time' suggests a brief period. The choice between the two phrases depends on the specific time frame you'd like to emphasize.
