In the beginning of GoF (I do not have my book :() Mr. Weasley explains that a portkey is used to transport people at a particular time to another place.  As a matter of fact there is a great deal of discussion about the time on Stoteshead Hill, they even counted down.  After the QWC, the whole group went to try to get an "early portkey".  How is it then, that the portkey in the maze took Cedric and Harry the moment they touched it?



Elihu's answer:

I think that a portkey can be set to move during a particular time range from one place to an other as soon as someone touches it. The portkey in the maze would then be set to work from the moment the third task started (or a bit earlier) until a time by which it was clear to Crouch Jr. that Harry will have finished the task.
