>From the code, it looks like the build description is hard coded, you
cannot specify your own in this case.
The description set is
"Build timed out (after {0} minutes). Marking the build as {1}."
where {0} is the time period it aborted at
and {1} is either "aborted" or "failed" depending on checkbox "Fail the build"
If you want your own message you could use the descriptor setter
plugin, which can write a different message for failed /aborted builds,
(Advanced section)
https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Description+Setter+Plugin
and you can use the Regular expression to search for the above message in
the log.
