Free Speed up time is 'Base Building Time = 5'. If you have a high politics mayor/high Construction tech, something might take "3mins40sec" to produce, but it's original BASE build (before applying Mayor/Tech boost) was above 5mins so you can't speed it up for free.
You will see this a lot if your various cities have mayors with wildly different stats.
