The main reason it is set to 15 mintues right now, as far as i'm aware is because that is approximate time medical has to defib the body before it's too late. There'd be nothing wrong with lowering it down to 5 or so minutes if defib timers don't exist at all.
15 minutes also gives people time to do some post-stuff scenes that the prey might want to be observing for (I'll leave the details to your imagination) and also gives more illicit sneaky stuff a bit of time to act before people know the patient is gone.
Also it does give people time to treat the patients as well - if medical are on the ball and hit resleeve as soon as the notification comes out, then I can see situations where someone is injured on an expedition, the warning goes out, the field medic manages to get them onto the shuttle, simultaneously in medbay a fresh sleeve pops out, and then compltely unbeknownst to each other it's a race to finish first.
If medbay finish first, then they can be resleeved when the field medic is about to revive them - which means they get yanked to medbay instead of getting to continue the expedition.
If medbay finish first and they
refuse the resleeve, hoping for a defib instead, then that has potential for medbay being left with wasted biomass
and a risk that they'll go "huh, they must not want reviving" which means that if the field medic
can't get them into a defibbable condition, the medbay have already written them off.
If the field medic defibs them before medbay are done, then they've already wasted biomass printing a sleeve.
I'd need to check with some field medic mains before I took a guess, but last time I got shot on an expedition they hauled my carcass onto the shuttle and it took a little longer than 5 minutes to stabilise me.
