Do you mean the datalink uplink delay? It is in the FCOM.

On the routes I fly the only ATC unit asking for that is NZZO.

Does anyone know why?

This is what I got from our FANS manual :

Transmission times for messages may vary for a number of reasons including the type of transmission media, network loading, or the criteria for transitioning from one media to another (e.g. VHF/Satcom). Operational response times may vary depending on workload and complexity of the instruction or clearance.

In short, it stops you responding to a message that has been held up in the system for whatever reason, beyond the limit entered.
