This is not an issue in network-manager-openvpn but rather in network-manager itself. It expects any VPN plugin to start IP configuration within 40 seconds of being launched. For reasons unknown that value is hardcoded.

I've created a patch that increases the timeout to 500 seconds and a PPA for it:

Currently it only covers Trusty, but I can add other series on request.
