I find it highly improbable that there is a "delay reboot for X minutes for no reason whatsoever" setting somewhere, that simply needs to be changed. As Mr. Spock would say: "this is not logical".
Although that pretty much describes what I see on a friend's iMac. When you go to shutdown, there's a warning and a countdown before it does. With a button to skip waiting and do it now.
My friend had been waiting for it to close down, needlessly for a very long time (before I saw it), he thought it was actually doing something and shouldn't be interrupted. But it was a merely an "are you sure?" prompt, stopping whoopsies and allowing you to (manually) save something you mightn't have before it shuts down. It's just sitting there counting down, doing nothing.
