Four scripts, four corresponding applescript apps, 4 operating systems, two computers.

OS 10.9.5, OS 10.10.5, OS 10.11.6 and OS 10.12.5
The four scripts and their four corresponding applescript apps were tested across the four OS’s above - across 5 trials on two computers. In case anyone is interested in the results - but would like to ponder and take a guess as to which scripts and/or apps successfully executed the 10 second delay command (if any), rather than post the results here, I’ll post them in a separate post, immediately.
