We can build a time delay system with only a large inductor.
That's what large inductors do. How does a large inductor
cause a large arc on a Smith Chart without shifting the phase
of the signal?

One cannot use the presuppositions of the lumped-circuit
model to prove that there is no time delay through a
coil. The lumped-circuit presupposes zero time delay
through a coil with propagation times exceeding the
speed of light.
