It's been a while since you asked this question; sorry.

Yes, there are several elements in Click that can delay traffic, among them
DelayUnqueue, DelayShaper, and LinkUnqueue. The first two add a fixed delay
to every packet; the last emulates a serial link with a given latency and
bandwidth. (LinkUnqueue is only available in anonymous CVS Click.)

The user has control over buffer size in Click. Generally the hardest limit
is just the memory size.
