Hi John,

Short answer: Yes.

I have the Excalibur GameTime II clock.
You can set a delay of 5 seconds, or more or less if required.

To set:
Move switch from Play to Pause position.
Press Select button.
Select Preset (1-96) Whichever time you want.
Press Select again. (To set your chosen time preset.)
You will see the word Delay, use the - or + buttons to set the amount.
Press Select, to set the chosen Delay time.
There are various other settings you can tweak also.
When finished press the Verify button.
Make sure the plungers are set to equal heights, then switch from Pause to
Play.
And you are set.

An interesting note: you can set 3 time periods, if you ever find a need.
Like 40/2h + 20/1h + G/30
