According to this bug report 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/casper/+bug/1977644, there is 
a working solution (though not officially marked as a fix, yet) targeted 
for the 22.04.1 milestone. 22.04.1 is scheduled to be released on Aug 4.

In the bug report above, there are comments from the developers working 
on the bug that have instructions on how to create a bootable USB ISO 
without the long delay. OP may want to read over them and try the steps 
provided as they are fairly simple to follow. Otherwise, OP just needs 
to wait 10min+ to complete booting.
