I'd interpret «tughHa'» as referring to a future event (relative to the setting); basically the equivalent of «poH nI' pIq».
For "not answering sooner", I might recommend something like «jIjangta'pa' jImImtaH».
Yes, Klingon is very verb-based, but we all know that there is no tense in Klingon and we can use time stamps also in the past. I believe that is correct to use {tugh} in the past like 

{wa' ben QIn vIHevpu' 'ej tugh jIjangta'}
"I got a message one year ago and I answered soon."

Any objections?
