2003 Mazdaspeed Protege - Delay before it cranks

Hey guys, just wondering if anyone else has experienced this - when putting in the key, and turning the key, there is a delay before it starts to crank. As long as it cranks, it always starts, but often times there is at least a 2-3 second delay. Any guesses on what this can be/ what the fix it?

Thanks,
 
battery is new. this started happening after the clutch was changed. in a video i saw that there was some relay for the clutch/starter in the fuse box.. wondering if that could be it (?)
 
spot on, Natey. Just FYI to close the loop, it was a loose connection with my clutch safety switch after the clutch was replaced - in case someone runs into the same issue.
