Waiting too long to attack Russia. He could have succeeded, had not Barbarossa been delayed by Hitler's need to clean up Mussolini's Greek adventure.

I think the opposite.  Had he waited until he had jet aircraft and V2 rockets and maybe even nukes (probably not though) and invaded in say, 1943.  Things would have turned out differently.
An attack in 1943 could have worked, but I think Barbarossa was too late in the year. There wasn't enough time for a lasting offensive before winter.

However, the main problem for Hitler is that if he waits until 1942, Joe might well have beaten Adolf to the punch.

Not likely, when you look at Stalin's beavior at the start fo the war. Though there was clear evidence that an attack was coming (I have a book on my shelf that lists 100+ early warnings), he refused to believe Hitler would attack and even instructed officers to not answer any fire, calling it "provocation".
