Auto-Receptionist Delay between the Greeting and Connecting Announcement too Long

When the auto-receptionist recording is done playing, there is a 6 second delay between the end of the IVR and when it announces it is connecting. This is confusing since it sounds like you are being hung up on. We want the option to press 9 if the caller wants a specific person, but with the auto Receptionist this is not possible without the delay. Our office has found a work around by transferring all incoming calls directly to the front reception desk with the Greeting IVR attached to her extension, but now when anyone transfers from another phone to hers it plays the Intro greeting again. I have tried to create a custom call rule to disable the greeting when one of the other extensions or their respective direct phone numbers dials the front desk extension but it still plays. Is there a way to fix this? Or is there a way I can access the developer app and change the Auto Receptionist Delay to 1 or 2 seconds?
