only accept games that have 7 day move times? If you can't make a move more than once every 7 days then you could always put yourself on vacation as well.

Just make sure to move within time or manually put yourself on vacation

You can only reduce your timeout percent by playing (and completing) more games in order to dilute their overall impact.  You can't get rid of them.
