I want to change an objects icon state while in air. I tried this:

obj/rock
   icon='rock.dmi'
   pixel_y=999999

mob/verb/test()
    var/obj/o=/obj/rock
    new o(usr.loc)
    sleep(10)
    o.icon_state="big"


But that doesn't work. Any help?

All you did was recode it.

I'm not sure what it is you're trying to accomplish here.

When you press the verb test, the rock appears in air at it's small icon state. Then, wait 10 seconds, and the rock's icon state changes to a bigger size.

Well, first off, 10 ticks is only one second, not ten seconds.
obj
     rock
          icon = 'rock.dmi'
          icon_state = "small"
mob
     verb
          Test()
               var/obj/O = new/obj/rock(src.loc)
               sleep(100)
               O.icon_state = "big"
