RaiMan proposed the following answer:
I want to add to Eugenes correct approach:

In situations, where after a click action, that should change the screen
content, the time to complete this screen change is varying (due to
network or other delays), the only way to make such a workflow time
efficient AND robust, is to wait for some expected image, that should
signal the completion of the screen change after the click or other
actions. In some situations the wait for the absence of an image might
be used as well (waitVanish()).

You might either use Eugene's approach packed in a function or use
wait(image, timeout).

In both cases the challenge is to decide for a maximum value for the
timeout, that is sufficient in most cases.

Waiting for an image to appear is much more flexible than time based
waits, since no matter, how long you set the timeout, in the moment, the
image appears, the script will continue. The maximum delay you have is
the time for one search.

click(someTarget)
wait(someFollowUpImage, maxTimeout)
