You use scripts. Make a timer scripts that starts at 20 minutes (make sure you write it in seconds).
Then make another script that 'fires' as soon as the 20 minutes are up
That script should then spawn some units or something like that

Then i recommend you don't start with one of the most difficult parts of modding BfMe. Scripting is anything but easy. Even starting to explain it would take pages of code. But if you really want to get the hang of it, study the following two tutorials by EA:
Basic Scripting (EA)
Building & Scripting a Single-Player/Campaign Map (EA)
Basic Scripting (EA)
Building & Scripting a Single-Player/Campaign Map (EA)
Axed Head and A.I. Coder for S.E.E. and ... stuff

First, create a waypoint where you want them to spawn.
Then the scripts:
Script1:
**IF**
True
**THEN**
Set Timer X to expire in Y Seconds
Click OK a few times, then close the scripts windows (press OK not X or close), then re-open. WB doesn't remember the script names until this happens.
Script2:
**IF**
Timer X has expired
**THEN**
Spawn instance of unit A belong to team B at waypoint C
Not the exact name of the scripts, but you get the idea.
