Interesting thread. A few key points here.....

- Yondaime took three years to invent the jutsu wed don't know how long it took Jiraiya to learn the jutsu

- Naruto hasn't mastered the jutsu at its standard level. He needs a Kage Bunshin to create a full functioning Rasengan

- It doesn't seem to take much chakra to do this jutsu. Jiraiya can do it effortlessly and Naruto can practice it over and over again all do vs. Chidori which can even blow its master Kakashi out after 4 shots.

- The secret to mastering Rasengan is not chakra power its all about control, hence the steps. Neji's expertise is chakra control. He could likely do the jutsu one handed after being told the steps, he's a much quicker learn than Naruto and has experience in the field of chakra control.

Kakashi said Jiraiya and the 4th were the only people capable of doing the jutsu which sounds absurd but if thats true then it must be because its an advanced technique the 4th only showed Jiraiya how to do in its entireity. Tsunade has both expert chakra control and incredible stamina. It shouldn't be to hard for her if Jiraiya can do it. I think at best its a hard jutsu to master as knowing how to do it and doing it right are two very different things. Neji probably could not pick it up in a second but then again Sakura climbed a tree on her first try because she had such excellent control. It took Naruto and Sasuke hours to do something so seemingly simple for a ninja. I think Neji would have to practice it a bit and get the feel but nothing we know of should keep him from mastering such a move in less than a week. He's good at chakra control, Naruto's bad at it and had to "cheat". Something like summoning Gamabunta would be much harder for him because he may not have the capacity.
