There are a number of different ways you could do this. Here's one example.

holdtimequeue.fsm

I used the Queue template from Fixed Resource Process Flow list and added an extra delay activity before the item is released. This guarantees that the item will be held in the queue for a specified amount of time before it can move on. You can click on the queue in the 3D view and change the Hold Time variable to be whatever time you want. You can even create copies of this queue and give each one a different Hold Time value.
