You're better off sending plague zombie for Neos Fusion and setting up for a synchro on a later turn. As already mentioned, Neos Fusion would prevent special summoning for the rest of that turn.
Miss timing only occurs with cards that have "when" and written in the description of their effects. They miss the timing because something happens between the moment the condition for the effect to trigger is fulfilled and the resolution of the effect. One example is Yubel...
If I 🔥 your avatar and you destroy your Yubel yubel will misses the timing because I'll search for neos fusion.
