Hello!

I picked up the throttles staying at 34%, rather than TOGA (or equivalent) being selected. What should have been the proper timeline for the EGPWS to function as expected?
The manual of "our" EGPWS (Honeywell MK V and MK VII - don't know if the Citation X has the same one on board) says (not aircraft specific!):

In case of
WARNING ALERTS
(PULL UP and WINDSHEAR are warning alerts):

1. Aggressively position throttles for maximum rated thrust. Apply maximum available power as determined by emergency need. The pilot not flying (if applicable) should set power and ensure that TO/GA power and modes are set.

2. If engaged, disengage the autopilot and smoothly but aggressively increase pitch towards "stick shaker" or Pitch Limit Indicators (PLI) to obtain maximum climb performance.

3. Continue climbing until the warning is eliminated and safe flight is assured.

4. Advise ATC of the situation.

NOTE: Climbing is the only recommended response unless operating in visual conditions and/or pilot determines, based on all available information, that turning in addition to the climbing is the safest course of action. Follow established operating procedures.

These manoeuvers are practised on every recurrent training in the simulator. Yet they never increased power and they did not disengage the autopilot, but used the pitch wheel instead to slowly raise the nose of the aircraft. Who knows why.
