Try this function on the scheduled timestamp:

,----
| (defun bzg-duration-of-timestamp-at-point ()
|   "Compute the duration of the timestamp at point."
|   (interactive)
|   (save-excursion
|     (forward-line 0)
|     (when (re-search-forward "\\<SCHEDULED: *<\\([^>]+\\) \\([0-9]+:[0-9]+\\)--?\\([0-9]+:[0-9]+\\)>" nil t)
|       (let ((date (match-string 1))
| 	    (t1  (match-string 2))
| 	    (t2  (match-string 3)))
| 	(- (org-time-string-to-seconds (concat date " " t2))
| 	   (org-time-string-to-seconds (concat date " " t1)))))))
`----
