(function($) {
    $.fn.onDelay = function(type, delay, funct) {
        delay = undefined === delay ? 500 : parseInt(delay);
        var timeOut;
        $(this).unbind(type)[type](function(e,x,y,z) {
            clearTimeout(timeOut);
            var self = this;
            timeOut = setTimeout(function(){
                funct.call(self,e,x,y,z);
            },delay);
        });
    };
})(jQuery);

How to use it ?

(function($) {
	$(window).onDelay('click', 2000, function(e) {
		console.log('Sorry , I am late.');
	})
})(jQuery);

UPDATED – Now supports $(this) in chield function.
