The whole "chases will be broken" thing does not make sense, and nobody ever bothers to explain why other than "Chases are ruined!!!". The speed of the doors opening doesn't affect whether the AI can bolt them. If the doors are open, they're open. If the changeling makes it to the door and hits it, the AI can't bolt it regardless of how fast/slow it's going to open after the fact. By far the biggest problem with AI's trying to lock someone down is shitty camera angles, not speed. The AI can bolt doors as fast as they can click on them, while the changeling has to move (slowly, in comparison to the AI's mouse) around the hallways/room.

Have Faster doors as an Improvment and then the Ai can then go around and start making the doors speed up(or re-slow them to help someone during a chase).
Giving the AI a command to increase/decrease door opening speed sounds like the most tedious and absurd thing to have control over, and as I've explained door speed has nothing to do with chases anyways. The AI research idea sounds pretty cool, and should be put into it's own suggestions thread, not shoehorned into one about something completely different.

I love how the new doors have been in for a day and people are already complaining that chases have been ruined. How does a door opening marginally faster manage to throw a wrench in the elusive and complicated formula known as following someone? Explained in first paragraph.

No, the time-delay research for science/genetics only exists because there's no better solution other than giving them everything at the start and letting them go hog-wild. This also has nothing to do with doors.

The AI can already help/hinder you in chases. They can just bolt the doors, stopping the axe murderer, rather than making the doors open slightly slower than usual.
