You give it more time to dry, then give it even more time to dry. If it's inside, turn on the A/C if possible to allow the humidity to be removed. Chances are, the paint was either applied too thick or subsequent coats were applied to soon and it isn't able to off-gas as fast as it should.

If it's in a bathroom, minimize the amount of time that hot water is being used, maybe open a window to allow the humidity to escape, then close it once the shower is over and allow the A/C to remove the rest of the humidity.

Can you varnish over tacky stain?

Never apply a coating over a surface that hasn't fully cured. If the stain is "tacky" then it either has been applied way too thick for a penetrating stain, it was applied in high humidity, or it has not been allowed to dry sufficiently. Either allow sufficient time for the stain to dry, or if it's just not drying, remove the stain and reapply under the correct conditions before applying a clear coat.

How do I fix very tacky interior doors without repainting that two weeks ago painted with Sherwin Williams Duration interior latex after sanding and priming?

It sounds like the paint didn't dry--perhaps run a fan in the room to make sure that there is enough ventilation. Is it a dark color? The paint may have more colorant in it than it was designed for. If that is the case, go back to the paint store and whoop the manager's a$$.
