The Script needs to do the following:-

1. Accept the input from the user
ie. The user tells the amount of time by which the execution should be delayed.
2. Delays the execution of the script by that amount of time

Alternatively you can use window.prompt() for getting input but forms and events is a better way.

let the script be in a function.
get the time delay and then use the setTimeout()
