SetTimeout Doesn't Work On Next Call
Solution 1:
Due to comments in principal post, I answer like this: It seems that is an AJAX call to know what percent is to be pushed in the bar. I recommmend to you that uses deferred with a promise to sincronize ajax call and settimeouts.
All jquery ajax call returns a deferred that you can use like this:
var def = $.ajax({ /* all your stuff*/ });
def.done({ /* your code when ajax is finished */ });
There are a lot of methods that you can play with it to sincronize callings. If you have problems with it, please, advice us and we can help you!
The deferred documentation:

Good luck!
Solution 2:
When you click on submit button, you need to reset all existing (already running) timers. So you are sure, that you stop everything from previous step.
I added two timers timer[0], timer[1] for each setTimeout. See attached code below:
// after click reset all existing timers
for (var i = 0; i < timer.length; i++) {
if (timer[i]) {
clearTimeout(timer[i]);
timer[i] = null;
}
};
//set timers
timer[0] = setTimeout(function() {
// your code
}, 10000);
timer[1] = setTimeout(function() {
// your code
}, 2000);

};
$(".progress").css("display", "block");
$(".progress-bar").css("width", "0%");
// set first timer
timer[0] = setTimeout(function() {
$(".progress-bar").css("width", "70%");
}, 10000);
var $form = $(this),
url = $form.attr('action');
// set second timer
timer[1] = setTimeout(function() {
$(".progress-bar").css("width", "100%");
$('#message-heading').append("Welcome");
}, 2000);
});
});
</script>

</html>Solution 3:
setTimeout runs the function passed as the first parameter only once, for repeat them we have to call it also at the end of the loop.
typical :
function loop() {
.....
your action
requestId = setTimeout(loop, 2000);
}
requestId = setTimeout(loop, 2000);
then name your timeout function and call in way above
