Even though I wrote the summary for that arc, it's been a while. IIRC, what happened was that Maya deduced that Tatsuya would inevitably betray the Yotsuba clan if things were to remain as they are. As such, Maya basically decided to default the future clan head position to Miyuki in order to control Tatsuya, which Maya described as a "monster". This way, Tatsuya would not betray the clan. Obviously, as the butler noted Tatsuya's loyalty would then become dependent upon Miyuki. It's here where Maya is 100% confident that Miyuki absolutely would not betray the clan.
So overall yes, Tatsuya is indeed biding his time, but Maya isn't because she's making a calculated decision on how to keep Tatsuya's loyalty through Miyuki. The reason she does so is because of her absolute confidence (basis is unknown to the readers) that Miyuki herself would not betray the clan.
