Sometimes, in some clusters, creating a Service resource in my Kubernetes cluster takes as long as 30 seconds because of a bunch of webhooks and backend calls that get made. But Strimzi's Cluster Operator has a fixed timeout of 10 seconds. As a result, the operator fails every time when it tries to create its first service, which happens to be <cluster-name>-zookeeper-client.

I'd like to be able to configure the timeout to a higher value. In my case, I'm using Helm to deploy and configure my Strimzi operator; I'd like to be able to set that configuration through a Helm value.

One way this might work is through environment variables. The Fabric8io Kubernetes client will obey certain environment variables, all listed on their README, to configure things like timeouts.
