I am building a MOC where I would like to use 4 specific yellow minifigure heads.
In Studio, the parts are listed under the Item Numbers 3626cpb3205, 3626cpb2898,
3626cpb3215, and 3626bpb0023. Studio states that all 4 of these parts are unavailable.

I was able to find these minifigure heads on Bricklink, but the item numbers
do not match exactly. In Bricklink, the Item Numbers are 3626pb3205
 
Part No: 3626pb3205 Name: Minifigure, Head Black Eyebrows and Goatee, Medium Nougat Chin Dimple, Lopsided Grin Pattern
* 		3626pb3205 Minifigure, Head Black Eyebrows and Goatee, Medium Nougat Chin Dimple, Lopsided Grin Pattern
Parts: Minifigure, Head {Yellow}
,
3626pb2898
 
Part No: 3626pb2898 Name: Minifigure, Head Black Eyebrows, Beard, Open Mouth Grin, White Teeth, Red Tongue Pattern
* 		3626pb2898 Minifigure, Head Black Eyebrows, Beard, Open Mouth Grin, White Teeth, Red Tongue Pattern
Parts: Minifigure, Head {Yellow}
, 3626pb3215
 
Part No: 3626pb2815 Name: Minifigure, Head Dual Sided Male, Gold Eyes and Determined Eyebrows / Shocked Open Mouth Pattern
* 		3626pb2815 Minifigure, Head Dual Sided Male, Gold Eyes and Determined Eyebrows / Shocked Open Mouth Pattern
Parts: Minifigure, Head {Yellow}
, and 3626pb0023
 
Part No: 3626pb0023 Name: Minifigure, Head Dark Orange Eyebrows, Moustache, and Goatee, Lopsided Open Mouth Smile with Teeth Pattern
* 		3626pb0023 Minifigure, Head Dark Orange Eyebrows, Moustache, and Goatee, Lopsided Open Mouth Smile with Teeth Pattern
Parts: Minifigure, Head {Yellow}
,
respectively. I am able to order these minifig heads from multiple sellers.

What is the process for changing the item numbers in Studio so that they match
with Bricklink? How long would it take to make the Item Numbers match, so that
they do not show as unavailable in Studio?

Thank you!!

Yes, the Great Head Merge started last year is still ongoing….

Studio gets parts updates more or less regularly.  It loads them when it starts.
It’s the devs who decide when to “push” a parts update… and, honestly, considering
the hiccups in November & December, I’d rather they were less frequent but better
checked

So, in essence, we, users, can’t do anything much but wait.  Sorry if that’s
not very helpful.
