.delay() will only delay animations in jQuery. To set an actual delay, you might want to use setTimeout().

let cancelId;
// ...
cancelId = window.setTimeout(function() {
  // ... do stuff ... 
}, 3000);

// If you want to cancel prematurely, use `window.clearTimeout`
if (cancelId) {
  window.clearTimeout(cancelId);
}

This will execute the code in ... do stuff ... in 3 seconds (3000 miliseconds)
