[SVA] Sequence of data

your requirements are ambiguous. Are you talking about a fifo?
If I assume that the data from left gets in at valid_left, and data from out with a valid, then I came up with the following:

// There is a BlackBox with one input bus and one output bus. 
// There are VALID signals for each of the buses. The block is clocked by CLK.
// How can I check / assert that the sequence of data in the output bus is the 
// same as in the input bus? Latency between input and output data may vary
// (actually latency between VALID signals may vary). 
		
module test2; 
	parameter UPPER = 9; 
	bit clk, valid_l, valid_r;  // valid left, valid right 
	bit[15:0] data_l, data_r; // data left, data right 
	
	// How long is the sequence? 
	// What is the start of the sequence 
	property p_dldr; 
		bit[15:0] v_d; 
		@(posedge clk) (valid_l, v_d=data_l) |-> ##[1:UPPER] data_r==v_d; 
	endproperty 
	a_: assert property ( p_dldr ); 
	initial forever #5 clk=!clk;
	
endmodule
