Who ultimately decides "when it is time to start" the first half?
The OP happened during intros. If game management says "Hold up while we clean the floor," or, for that matter, any number of other reasons, what authority does the official have to say "Game time."

Were the officials told a scheduled game time?
I would consider any deliberate act which prevents starting at that time to be unacceptable.
