Jerry,
The simplest way of delaying start times I can think of is as you say,
patch time plus a math expression. In the expression you could just do
"time - delayTime" so the time will reach zero after a delay. That
would make time negative until the delay has passed though, if that's
a problem use something like "time > delay ? (time - delay) : 0"
As for the logic - well, a multiplexer with two indices actually is an
if/then/else. If the input is high, it selects the second input, else
it selects the first. Combine it with more complex conditionals in the
math expression patch, and it should cover most situations (I often
have a multiplexer with lots of inputs, and a complex math expression
patch to select inputs at different times or depending on other things.
If you really need more power than that, there's always javascript
which can do all of this plus much more in a single patch.

also, this has been bugging me-- in QC what's the best way to set up
a logic
gate, ie, if/then/else statement? i've been using a conditional and a

such a basic function. am i missing something?
