Maybe I'm overlooking something, but it seems that maybe an ordinary 556
(dual timer) chip could do the trick.  It wouldn't delay the HSYNC per-se,
but I figure it could be used to generate a new HSYNC signal using the
original HSYNC for reference.

Possibly something along the lines of:
-Timer 1 being set to the delay between the original HSYNC and the new HSYNC.
-Timer 2 being set to the pulse width of the new HSYNC.
-The original HSYNC would trigger timer 1 and reset timer 2.
-The output of timer 1 would be your new HSYNC and also trigger timer 2.
-The output of timer 2 would reset timer 1.
