Is it a stable/static effect no matter what, or is it a bit more stretchy/bouncy depending on how the object is behaving?

Thank you!

Gravity is "emitted" by an object with mass. So to use what might be a better example, if a massive object popped into existence at a particular place, it would start "emitting" gravity waves from that time. Another object one light-minute away would start feeling its gravity about a minute after it appeared.
