Answer:

The Gmail API does not have email scheduling functionality at present.

More Information:

There is already a report on Google's Issue Tracker which requests for this functionality to be exposed via the Gmail API:

Google does seem to know about this already, if it's a feature you would like to see be implemented sooner then I suggest that you hit the ☆ next to the issue number in the top left of the page, as it lets Google know more people would like to see the featureand so it is more likely to be seen to faster.

Workaround:

If you know at which time you would like your emails to be scheduled, and you have already authorised your application, then you can instead run your application using a cron job for your operating system.
