I'm working with a script that needs to delay (or have a setTimeout) before any animation loads or initializes, but can't seem to figure out where to put it.

As for delay, if I'm not mistaken, this is used mainly with jquery...So for example: $('id or class here').delay(2000); ...Correct?

As for the setTimeout, if I'm not mistaken, it would be with javascript correct? If so, wouldn't it look something similar to this: setTimeout(function () function_name,2000); or a slightly different variation of that?

Regardless of these two approaches and trying to add it where I think it should go (using either variations mentioned above), for some reason it just doesn't work right. The console isn't really helping either to check for errors.

In a nutshell, I'm trying to set a delay of 2s (2000ms) before anything starts or initializes.

JS CODE (Where I believe the issue lies):

$(document).ready(function() 
 // Additional code here...
 // start
 BG.init();

 // Additional code here...
 
});

Where you have this:

$(document).ready(function() 

Put this:

$(document).ready(function() 
 setTimeout(function() 

And then where you have this:

);

// wrapper for background animation functionality
var BG = 

Put this:

 , 2000);
);

// wrapper for background animation functionality
var BG = improve this answer

There's a lot of 'useless' code for us to help you. Next time share only on a need-to-know bases :)

I've edited your $document.ready block to include the timeout, have a look-see:

$(document).ready(function() 
 function initiationProcess() 
 // setup logo image
 BG.logo = new Image();
 BG.logo.onload = function() 
 BG.logo_loaded = true;
 BG.showLogo();
 
 // /../ more code /../
 // wire ticker listener
 Ticker.addListener(BG.tick);
 // start
 BG.init();
 // /../ more code /../
 

 setTimeout(initiationProcess, 2000);
);

Edit:
I'd also like to note that it's considered bad practise (not to mention that it might result in buggy code) to only partly use semicolons in your script file. There's points and counterpoints to using semicolons, but pick a standard and stick to it!
