 * We’ve had a request from editorial staff to be able to implement redirections
   on a timer. This is useful for our news site as sometimes we have a teaser because
   a story is embargoed, a story has to update at a certain time, or other reasons.
 * So I was wondering if there could be a timer on redirections, either through 
   some plugin update, or maybe there is some hook we can use to make something 
   like this happen.

 * I think this is something best done in custom code. Each redirect in the wp_redirection_items
   table has a ‘status’ field. You could have the status of timed redirects initially
   set to ‘disabled’, and then your custom code enables them after a certain time.
