I'm not saying that you should debug the code, I'm saying that you should *insist* that the developers give you the queries being executed when a timeout occurs. Is...

SELECT INS.INSPNO, CNT.FIRSTNAME, CNT.LASTNAME, CNT.CAPACITY,

ROW_NUMBER() OVER( PARTITION BY INS.INSPNO ORDER BY CASE WHEN Capacity = 'Contractor' THEN -1 ELSE INS.INSPNO END DESC)...

DELETE X

FROM (

SELECT TOP (@BATCH_SIZE) [COLUMN]

FROM [TABLE_NAME] M

ORDER BY [COLUMN] DESC

) AS X

Using OFFSET-FETCH (2012)

DECLARE @BATCH_SIZE INT = 10;

DELETE X

FROM...
