The bot isn't waiting 2.5 seconds, or any amount of time, to cast.
Like jackie said, it uses the ability the moment it is ready.
If you had 0 latency to SE's servers(and skill manager ran every tick, and your computer was super fast), it would cast as quickly as possible.
It isn't a bug so much as a lack of a feature, skillmanager doesn't support command queuing. The crux of the issue is the whole reason why people argue all day about the dps differences between a bard who uses macro spam and a bard who manually uses his abilities. ffxiv macros can't be queued, so any ability in a macro will run slower than simply hitting it.
My custom bard script is pretty boss and I am happy with it, it is a work in progress but feel free to try it :P 300+ dps for an i90 bard :P You hit middle mouse button to activate it while targeting something...
The key to the whole thing is the line:
local gcd = heavyShot.cdmax - heavyShot.cd > -0.5
