May depend on the quality of the part that was put in. I've never replaced one for any amount of play that wasn't significant or leaking. Not to mention the water pump on the 996 is probably one of the easiest "major" jobs on the car, I wouldn't sweat it especially if it was just replaced.
If you are worried about it and are a handy person, you can buy the parts online and DIY in about 2-3 hours for about $400. If you take it to a shop if could vary by quite a bit... Independent shop with competitive pricing will probably cost around $600-$700. Take it to a Porsche dealer and I would guess the bill to be closer to $1200 give or take.
Also you should find out if they replaced the IMS bearing when they did the clutch... "related" wouldn't include that unless a knowledgable shop did it. Bearing itself is about $700 so it would add significant cost to the job.
Good luck and welcome to the forums!
