tramp-connection-timeout is a variable defined in `tramp.el'.
Its value is 60

Documentation:
Defines the max time to wait for establishing a connection (in seconds).
This can be overwritten for different connection types in `tramp-methods'.

You can customize this variable.

This variable was introduced, or its default value was changed, in
version 24.4 of Emacs.

And indeed, it is overwritten by another value for "sudo" in
tramp-methods:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
 ("sudo"
  (tramp-login-program "sudo")
  (tramp-login-args
   (("-u" "%u")
    ("-s")
    ("-H")
    ("-p" "Password:")))
  (tramp-remote-shell "/bin/sh")
  (tramp-remote-shell-args
   ("-c"))
  (tramp-connection-timeout 10))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
