This is not an issue in network-manager-openvpn but rather in network-
manager itself. It expects any VPN plugin to start IP configuration
within 40 seconds of being launched. For reasons unknown that value is
hardcoded.

I've created a patch that increases the timeout to 500 seconds and a PPA for it:
https://launchpad.net/~elemecca/+archive/ubuntu/nm-vpn

Currently it only covers Trusty, but I can add other series on request.

Title:
  vpn connection handshake times out too soon

Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: network-manager-openvpn

  NetworkManager only waits 40 seconds for the VPN to come up. This is
  too short when using a slow connection as for instance a 64kbps GPRS
  connection.

  Calling openvpn manually also timeouts sometimes with the default
  timeout (60s?), but I am able to override it using the "connect-
  timeout" option in the configuration file and solve the problem.
