The time frame is "while the player is in the game."
In your case, the player was no longer in the game. Therefore the protest (it's a protest, not an appeal) is invalid and not recognized. All earlier play is legal.
I'm not so sure about this, but I believe that the alleged unreported substitute was never officially in the game, and still has all of her entry / reentry rights available.
