I'm trying to create a task type with a Duration discriminant and
receive the GNAT error "discriminants must have a discrete or access
type". Can somebody help me to understand the problem here?

Duration is a Fixed-point type if I remember correctly.
This page, from the `83 LRM, indicates that to be the case:

Yes, I didn't realize that fixed-point was not a discrete type. No
problem, I can just pass in a discrete value that represents
milliseconds and convert to a duration in the task.

Alternatively, using Ada.Realtime,
... := To_Duration (Microseconds (you_integer_value));
