Eobt and taxi time

Greetings.
I was part of a discussion regarding the window of an a/c to depart +-15 from EOBT and a longer taxi time than that window.
The main concern issued was what if the a/c starts at eobt and taxi time to said runway due to meteo and traffic is 20 mins. Normally a delay shall be issued (?) because it's impossible to depart in those 15 mins, but what if a SAM comes due to that delay?
I read in the ATFCM user manual that TRS from that airport will prevent SRM and SAM to come, but the TRS is a limited time window, what happens next?
How do AO at much busier airports with taxi times of 40 minutes due to traffic handle this? I can't believe you are number X for departure and get a SAM at some point because you got issued a delay.

Thanks for the help.
