Openssl s_client is an example implementation of client functionality. 
It does not provide all options with bells and whistles or to 
perfection. Timeout options are not provided by the basic openssl 
library. Timeouts are either provided by the underlying transport (TCP 
stack and/or kernel) or by the application using non-blocking behaviour 
and select(). 
The openssl s_client example application does not implement the latter 
and there are no plans to add it.
