Based on that video clip, it was 15 seconds from beginning of forward movement to beginning of flaps beginning to lower.

I seem to recall a 727, Delta, in DFW, (Corrected to 1988!) that didn't lower flaps on takeoff ... flight ended in tears.

Delta 1141. One would hope that the lesson learned from that crash might be standard training fodder.
