If you mean "for 5 years" it's always a mistake to say "pour 5 ans".
"Pour" introduce a reason, whereas "pendant" or "durant" are about time durations. The only exception for the "for/duration prohibition" is when the duration is super short, so the goal and duration are almost impossible to tell appart. Ex: Je serai à Londres pour 2 jours.

"POUR" indique une durée prévue :
"En France, le président de la République est élu pour 5 ans. "
"PENDANT" indique la durée d'une action :
"Matin et soir, elle se brosse les dents pendant 3 minutes."
