787 Dreamliner late undercarriage retraction

I live close to Edinburgh Airport where there is a daily Qatar 787 service to Doha. I have noticed that occasionally the aircraft does not retract its gear right after takeoff but will leave it until it is well over 4,000 feet and several miles from the airport. Does anyone know why this happens, is it 787 SOP for cooling?
