I think for delves and public dungeons with more than one boss, it's random which one is spawned at any given time, unless that mechanic has been changed or removed. I'm pretty sure they also spawn roughly every five minutes like other bosses (such as WBs), so if you're waiting at Spawn Point A and the boss hasn't spawned in 6 or more minutes, you might wanna check the other spawn spots.
As for when bosses seem to spawn super quickly, for delves at least bosses will spawn even before five minutes if a player who hasn't beaten them yet enters their spawn zone.

Can we please get a "respawn now" button or similar item to get a main character to respawn?
We just had 6-7 players standing around in Tor-Hame-Khard waiting for the lady by the sea pearl to spawn.

Lots of ways to fix that here.
- Make the button work only when someone with a quest to kill that boss is present.
- Only show the button after 1 minutes
- Etc.
Find other ways to find and remove bots.
Respawn now button would be abused.

But your enjoyment is another person's annoyance. Imagine I'm exploring a zone and I clear a delve, get the skyshard, kill the boss, and then I haven't even left the room and the boss has already respawned. [snip]? What am I even doing in this world?
The respawn timer is of a reasonable length. It's long enough that someone clearing the zone can leave the area before the boss respawn, but short enough that you can actually stay and wait if you want to kill the boss multiple times (and there are ways to make it go faster if you insist) If you are doing a daily and other players are there and you are worried about not getting credit, you can group with them and get credit for the quest even if you don't get a hit in.
If you feel like having a respawn timer added to the API for World bosses near you, or the boss in the delve that you are in, that's a suggestion to bring up to ZOS.

I believe the boss you are talking about is Justiciar Avanaire, who is a quest boss, NOT the actual delve boss. Killing Avanaire has nothing to do with completing the delve, she is only for the "Pearls before Traitors" quest.
This is why she does not instantly spawn even if a person who hasn't completed the quest - or the delve - shows up: not being a dungeon boss of any kind, she does not go by dungeon boss respawning mechanics. Also, if there is an antique lead which demands a "Delve Boss" to drop it, SHE WILL NOT DROP IT.
ONLY "The Kurgando", a yaghra monstrosity in a different location, is the delve boss in Tor-Hame-Khard. That is the boss you should be camping for any leads which drop from delve bosses in Summerset.
Basratti is the one boss I can agree needs the respawn mechanic looking at. Last time I had that quest my son left school, and did 3 years at uni before she spawned
