Even with the site not up it seems the two commands, particularly the
-return_results_immediately, would have overridden the deferred
communication time.  No immediate attempt to communicate was logged, no
"Project Down" or "No schedulers responded" was recorded.  The only
message logged other than resumming computation was the deferred
communcation with project, minus the minute or two I took to look up and
enter a new command
option.  The commands don't seem to work quite as described???

IME, they just don't override the forced delay... the exponentially
increasing backoff time.

The way to get rid of the time is to close boinc and edit
client_state.xml.  Drop the min_rpc_time value down to 0 and restart
boinc.  That should, ideally, force a connection.

Thanks, I'll give that a try the next outage.
