????????????????? Have you not read the Manga? It literally states the Mangekyo Sharingan has the ability to invoke a time delay technique and that's exactly what Madara and Itachi did. The Manga states that and stated they used that ability. So Madara utilized that ability before the fight. Then it activates when it meets certain requirements. Obito and Sasuke eyes meeting for Itachi. Madara's death for Madara. They used their Chakra when they inscribed the eye. Let me make it even more simple for you.

Madara is chilling. He gets ready for his fight. He utilizes the time delay ability of his Mangekyo. The Chakra cost is used right then and there. Done deal.

Further evidence shows from Itachi. It didn't activate until Sasuke and Obito made eye contact. Itachi had been dead for a while. He was completely drained. And his vision was nearly gone. Yet, it activated.

Same thing for Madara. He was dead, and it activated. So they paid the cost when they used the time-delay effect and implanted it in their targeted eye, not when it activated.

Assuming he thought Hashi would live that long. Maybe he thought Hashi would die anyway so it was a waste of energy. Or the most likely case is, Madara wanted to fake his death so he could lay low.

No, you just want there to be a reason. If Madara can't beat Hashirama as an edo with two rinnegan and Hashirama's dna. He isn't beating a stronger version of Hashirama as a weaker version of himself. Makes no sense.
