    I’m not a native speaker… interesting, why would that be phrased that way? It’s still multiple minutes?

      Generally, when describing a thing, the unit is written as singular. “15 minute delay”, “10 foot pole”, “5 gallon bucket”. When referring the unit itself though, it would be plural: “a delay of 15 minutes”, “the pole is 10 feet long”, “this bucket holds 5 gallons”. I’m sure there’s a more precise way to say this, but hopefully it helps.
