Couldn't happen just from replacing timing cover. Now if you replace timing belt/chain then yes it would be sluggish or not run at all. Sound more like you have issue with cold start valve.
Also, the accumulator is a likely place to begin, particularly because you say
that it's only the first start that has hard cranking. A
properly-functioning accumulator keeps the fuel system pressurized
enough to open the injectors without a lot of cranking. If pressure
bleeds off due to a poor accumulator, the fuel pumps have to run a while
in order to re-pressurize the system, hence, long cranking times. The quick test is to cycle the
ignition key 3-4 times before you attempt to start the cold motor so
that the pump runs each of those times and is allowed to build up some
fuel pressure before the engine is started. If that test helps, you've
identified a fuel pressure problem, almost certainly the accumulator.
