Delaying Hyperlinks [duplicate]

Question

Is it possible to delay a hyperlink by 3 seconds as CSS has the delay animation, I have some icons with animation on them, for a mobile user they cant hover over the icons, but they would be able to see the icon animation if i had a delay on the hyperlinks? Is this possible? Thanks All!
