I would either add "cool head lift" and set a shorter minimum layer time, or start experimenting with layer cooling fans.

Is this an ABS print or PLA?

I think Jimustanguitar means longer minimum layer time... I would agree... everything looks good till small feature, which means it needs more time to cool

cooling part with layer fans would make the most difference.
PLA and ABS
