For one, taking that time could give them an opportunity to regroup and it wouldn't be so quick that they would be unable to rally. One of them could also intervene to stop her from killing one or both of them. Just because she didn't have any clear reason to believe time was needed doesn't mean she would not try to complete the mission as quickly as possible. She figured they could take care of the rest. Main reason it turned out they couldn't take care of the rest is because Jaune's Semblance activated and was able to super-charge Weiss. Cinder had no way of knowing Jaune had such a super convenient Semblance that would even more conveniently become active right after she went to retrieve the Relic.
