Is there a way to have a step in a pipeline wait until a specific time to start?

[nfwlpw]

Here's my dilemma.

I have a job in my pipeline that sits off the main path, but they do depend on part of the main pipeline (parameters and artifacts).  The team that owns this job is in a different timezone so they want the job to start at a time convenient for them.

Is there a way I can have this step stay in the pipeline, but wait until a certain time to fire off?  I thought adding a quiet period but start time won't be exact also makes it annoying if I want to run just that step

I wonder if you could use: https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Schedule+Build+Plugin with another job, that fires up and checks if it should run as a pre build step, and then runs (downide is that it will run, even if there isn't work to do from  upstream, so perhaps there is a better way). 

I feel your pain re timezones (I am timezone challenged myself!).

For the record, I did something like that in the past. We definitely need a higher level step to do that, and maybe there's already something available, but here's what worked for me for a given *hour*

    waitUntil { // Capillotracté, redo with, say, a sleep time computed between current and now or something

        sleep 60

        def currentHour = Calendar.getInstance().get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY)

        echo "Current hour: $currentHour, waiiiiit ${minDeploymentHour}h"

        currentHour == minDeploymentHour as int

    }
