I implemented a scenario similar like yours here:
You can reference my solution: my requirements is that all the messages received after saying 9:00pm, will be hold until 12:00am to process, and it should not block any other interface processing:
I used UDF using following code, map it to root target node
public String CalendarDelay(String a,Container container){
// get the supported ids for GMT-05:00 (Pacific Standard Time)
String[] ids = TimeZone.getAvailableIDs(-5 * 60 * 60 * 1000);
// if no ids were returned, something is wrong. get out.
if (ids.length == 0)
     System.exit(0);
//create a Pacific Standard Time time zone
SimpleTimeZone pdt = new SimpleTimeZone(-5 * 60 * 60 * 1000, ids[0]);
// set up rules for daylight savings time
pdt.setStartRule(Calendar.APRIL, 1, Calendar.SUNDAY, 2 * 60 * 60 * 1000);
pdt.setEndRule(Calendar.OCTOBER, -1, Calendar.SUNDAY, 2 * 60 * 60 * 1000);
// create a GregorianCalendar with the Pacific Daylight time zone
// and the current date and time
Calendar calendar = new GregorianCalendar(pdt);
Date trialTime = new Date();
calendar.setTime(trialTime);
int currYear = calendar.get(Calendar.YEAR);
int currMonth =  calendar.get(Calendar.MONTH);
int currDate = calendar.get(Calendar.DATE);
Calendar StartCalendar = new GregorianCalendar(pdt);
Calendar EndCalendar = new GregorianCalendar(pdt);
StartCalendar.set(currYear, currMonth, currDate, 17, 30, 0);
EndCalendar.set(currYear, currMonth, currDate, 23, 59, 59);
long startTime = StartCalendar.getTimeInMillis();
long endTime = EndCalendar.getTimeInMillis();
long currTime = calendar.getTimeInMillis();
if ((currTime >= startTime) && (currTime <= endTime)){
//return "Current time fall into the range !";
  try
        Thread.sleep(endTime - currTime);   //delay 10 min
            }catch (InterruptedException ie)
        System.out.println(ie.getMessage());
return a;
else
return a;
