RaiMan proposed the following answer:
Generally: wait() and exists() internally repeat the search until the
image is found or the standard (3 seconds) / given wait time is
exceeded.

So the correct approach in your case:
wait(imageOrPattern, wait-time)
or
exists(imageOrPattern, wait-time)

The only difference between both:
- wait throws findFailed if not found within wait-time
- exits returns null if not found within wait-time

In any case all find methods return immediately, when the image is
found.

So the wait-time in your case should simply be a value a bit larger than
the largest delay you expect.
