Call setup delay causes clipping, unless you in some manner use feedback 
to the answerer to hold them off from talking.  The classic problem you 
probably all know is "pickup receiver, say "hello" - if call setup takes 
(or media is clipped by) more than a couple hundred ms, the clipping is 
audible to the caller.  And it gets worse (100ms or perhaps even less) 
for "click-to-answer".  The only thing to help you there is possible 
visual indication that it's not connected yet to encourage the answerer 
to wait before talking, and in some uses that's not possible or isn't 
sufficiently obvious.  (audio-only connections, especially in a context 
where you're paying attention to other things as well (game, VR 
conference, etc)).
