I've often heard 1/7th second delay which gives a sort of echo-y effect. But several minutes !! .. that would have to be some duct.
What is often notable on the news when reporters are talking to presenters in the studio is a several second delay due to the comms links, and particularly the satellite coms. At 22,000 miles it takes radio waves about a quarter of a second to get there and back. This could be increased if multiple hops are used.
