Why would nothing cause 4-6 hour delay? If it was nothing, mx would either sign it off as being airworthy, or it would be a quick fix.
How about giving an example? There are lots of times where I write stuff up, as a FO, which they turn out to be issues that need to be fixed in domicile vs being discovered at an outstation.
