In reply to shaygueta:

Just fork the timeout delay.

task automatic timeout(ref logic signal,input logic value,input time timeout_value);
   bit timed_out;
           fork begin
              fork
                begin
                  #timeout_value;
                  `uvm_error(....
                  timed_out = '1;
                end
             join_none
             wait(signal === value || timed_out);
             disable fork;
           end join
endtask

Note the enclosing fork/join is needed to prevent the disable fork from killing other child threads that may have been spawned before calling this task.
