Offline bridge has a screen accross table to avoid UI from partner's hesitation. Online there could be different screens for every player. Each player receives LHO's and partner's bid at the same moment - this could be done without hard programming effort.
Its not a good idea to delay all three bids:
1) Opp's hesitation is AI.
2) Wastes time to consider partner's bid.
Do you agree ?

I'd like the standard implemented recently by the ACBL/USBF for screens - basically, if the bidding tray within 15 seconds is passed to and fro, then there doesn't exist a chance for UI. It also qualifies that certain sequences are more sensitive to time (like jump preempts, skip bids, do I make a slam try, you get the idea). This would greatly aid matters, because now if there's a discernible pause there is a built-in protection.
