NASA's current plans call for a return to the moon with Orion 15, tentatively scheduled for June, 2019.

Whatever happened to being able to put a man on the moon in under a decade?

The first test of an Orion component, the Launch Escape System, is scheduled for Septemberish of this year. The amount of delay in performing the pad abort test will give a good indication of just how badly delayed the rest of the project will be.
