If you'll allow more than one object, then a combination of [onebang] or [once] with [delay] should do what you're looking for. You'll need to reset them each time, but it should still be simpler than using spigots.
Incidentally, from you title I was hoping that you were asking for a [delay] object that would schedule a bang n milliseconds
before it was triggered. Now that would be something!
