My theories on this topic... I think that there could be two explainations to this problem: 1. Wizarding folk can choose either if they want to preset the time or if they can have it work when someone touches it.
2. "Mad-Eye-Moody" could have set the time seconds before Harry and Cedric touced the Triwizard trophy.
