The delay is approximately the same amount of time for Cinder's explosions. So....2 -3 seconds. But that's to balance it out to make the explosions avoidable. He mainly uses it offensively, like say to get a higher ground before slamming down, or to move off Grimm with the force of the blast after he blows them up.
