Back in the early '90s we had a switch that did just what you want. I got it
at Menards or maybe Ace. Like Phil I do not know if they still exist.

my garage and one on the outside light on my house. It looked like an
ordinary switch, and the switch itself was no bigger than an ordinary SPST
switch. Fit in the box easily, and used the standard cover plate. I'm sure
the delay was mechanical. You would just push the switch down and the light
would stay on. No noise at all. A few minutes later, you would hear a normal
click and the light would go off. Turning on the light was normal.
