Without having to attach to jquery:

GlobalObject.SpcificTimeOuttFnName = function()
{
   setTimout
   (
      // Perform some generic action
      function()
      {
         $('.settings-container').addClass("slide-down");
      },
      200
   );
}

You aren't executing the action function,

change:

action;

to:

action();
