If the mountain is either at the East or West, Then yes, It will delay the length of daylight.
In practicle terms yes. However the times of sunrise and sunset are calculated as if the earth was smooth. So even though you cannot see the sun until it is above the mountains the sun is still said to have risen. This is true also of sunset

Mountains can affect the daylight length by blocking the sunrise or sunset before it reaches the horizon, particularly for locations close to the mountains or in their shadow. This can result in earlier sunsets or delayed sunrises compared to areas with a more open horizon.

∙ 12y agoNo, Daylight Saving Time does NOT change when the sun rises or sets. All it means is that we get up and do everything else an hour earlier but by setting our clocks an hour fast, we are pretending that we are still doing everything at the same time. This in effect presents the illusion that there is "more" daylight during the "evening" hours, when we are in fact just getting up and doing everything else an hour earlier to make that happen. The time itself does not change, only humans and their clocks do.
