We propose a geometric framework in which spacetime is characterized by a finite relaxation time. While at macroscopic scales geometric relaxation occurs effectively instantaneously, at microscopic scales finite relaxation induces measurable temporal delays in the response of spacetime geometry to matter-energy distributions. We argue that this delayed geometric response naturally generates stochastic metric fluctuations, which manifest as effective quantum behavior without requiring fundamental quantization of spacetime itself. This approach provides a coherent interpretation of quantum-like phenomena as emergent effects of finite geometric relaxation, offering a non-competitive and complementary perspective to existing approaches in quantum gravity.
