Playback start latency

Affects all projects? Does it matter where you are in the timeline? Using ASIO driver mode? Have you verified that rollback fixes it?

EDIT: If it's affecting all projects, and rollback doesn't fix it (likely not), you might try executing 'Reset Config to Defaults'  in Preferences> Audio > Configuration File.

When this happens to me it’s always a background CPU issue. 
Run Latency Monitor and see what it says. Turn of your internet etc. 
Also certain look ahead plug ins can cause this so try global  bypassing  all effects and see. 
It should have nothing to do with Audio interfaces.

Using very large buffers can also be a contributing factor. The buffer has to fill before playback can start. But this delay is usually half a second or less. Still long enough to notice.

And it's not only your I/O buffers that do this. A large Kontakt project can do it if you specify large preload buffers. I imagine even effects could do it, too, if they use large buffers internally (e.g. a convolution reverb).

A clue would be if you experience this 2-second lag on a new project with minimal data in it.
