Delay before jump

I'm learning Unity, and I'm doing a character move, but the animation of the jump has a delay for the character to literally jump, a 0.30s until it picks up, how do I add this delay in the code?

Like, I thought of doing somehow that when you hit "Space" release the animation, count 0.20s and make the jump. it's viable? How can I do this?

In short, the character jumps before the animation.

Animation Video: https://i.sstatic.net/u7yLF.jpg

public class PlayerController : MonoBehaviour {

    public float moveSpeed;
    public float jumpForce;
    public CharacterController controller;

    private Vector3 moveDirection;
    public float gravityScale;

    public Animator animator;

    void Start() {
        controller = GetComponent<CharacterController>();
    }

    void Update() {
        float yStore = moveDirection.y;
        moveDirection = (transform.forward * Input.GetAxis("Vertical")) + (transform.right * Input.GetAxis("Horizontal"));
        moveDirection = moveDirection.normalized * moveSpeed;
        moveDirection.y = yStore;

        jump();

        controller.Move(moveDirection * Time.deltaTime);
        animator.SetFloat("Speed", (Mathf.Abs(Input.GetAxis("Vertical"))));

    }

    void jump() {
        if (controller.isGrounded) {
            moveDirection.y = 0f;
            if (Input.GetButtonDown("Jump")) {
                moveDirection.y = jumpForce;
                Debug.Log("jump");
            }
        }
        moveDirection.y = moveDirection.y + (Physics.gravity.y * gravityScale * Time.deltaTime);
        animator.SetBool("isGrounded", controller.isGrounded);
    }
}

To what One Man Mokey Squad suggest I think you should also consider to get a new jump animation or trim the current animation. I think it's not a great idea to create a custom code for that broken jump animation because you will not be able to reuse your script.

In your jump() function don't apply the jump force. Instead, set the next time the character is supposed to jump.

float nextJumpTime;
bool todoJump;
void jump() {
    if (!todoJump && Input.GetButtonDown("Jump")) {
        // Remember we have to jump and when
        nextJumpTime = Time.time + 0.2f;
        todoJump = true;
    }
    // Execute the jump
    if (todoJump && Time.time >= nextJumpTime) {
        todoJump = false;
        moveDirection.y = jumpForce;
    }
}

Either that or read on coroutines. Start a coroutine on input, yield return new WaitForSecond(0.2f); in the coroutine and then execute the jump.
