No it wouldn't affect response time. Response time is for when you receive an invitation to apply, not a contract.
To Martina's point, you keep referring to submitting a draft BEFORE accepting the project. Step 1: You accept the contract. Step 2: Do the work.
If the client doesn't like it, you should 1) offer a revision or 2) have him pay you and hire another freelancer.
Don't be concerned with negative feedback unless you are acting dishonestly or mistreating the client. Be respectful and honest.

Hi, I’m new here. Is there any bad effect of accepting or declining the job contract late? I mean someone has hired me few days ago and I wants to deliver the logo and check his response. If he liked the first draft , then I’ll accept the job else a cancellation would effect on my profile.

If you have already been hired, there is nothing to accept.
Do you mean somebody told you they will hire you once you send the completed task? This could end in you doing free work, and you don't want to do that ever. Wait until you are actually hired, then proceed.

Not from Upwork's point of view. You have a week to accept. Then the job will automatically appear as if you withdrew your submission and the client will have to send you a new contract. The client, on the other hand, may have a deadline so you should manage expectations accordingly.
