My lock timeout options on iPhone 14 Pro / iOS 18.1 are 30 seconds, 1 minute and 2 minutes. Is there a trick to extending this?
There used to be an option for setting it to 5 minutes or more, but those are gone.
The 2 minute limit makes it very difficult to use phone mirroring during a presentation.
On my iPhone 16 Pro Max, running iOS 18.1.1, I went to Settings > Display & Brightness > Auto Lock and I have the following options:
30 seconds
1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 minutes
Never
Are you saying on your iPhone you don't have the same options? If no, is your iPhone possibly managed by an employer or school?

Yes, your work profile is the reason. They don't want you to leave your screen active longer than 2 minutes if you'e not actively using your iPhone.
for as far as I know this is not possible I am afraid

Extending iPhone lockout time beyond 2 minutes
