If you want to calculate this in a custom attribute, you could try to use JavaScript. See https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/AttributeCustomization and Process Enactment Workshop for the Rational solution for Collaborative Lifecycle Management lab 5 for details. You could compute the time difference between the creation date and the current date.
It is however hard to detect a sate change in JavaScript. Some have done it for some purposes, but it is not easy.
The best way to achieve this in my perspective is a follow up action on save on the server. Same mechanics, but easier and more accurate. See https://rsjazz.wordpress.com/2012/07/31/rtc-update-parent-duration-estimation-and-effort-participant/ for a follow up action that saves data to attributes and see https://rsjazz.wordpress.com/2014/05/26/only-owner-can-close-workitem-advisor/ for how to detect a state change.
