Create an int field in your world. In the act method, increase the timer by 1 and when it reaches a certain amount, change the world.

Try SimpleTimer (Edit, Import Class, SimpleTimer), set it up and in the world have 
public (insert world name here)
{
     super(int, int, int);
     timer.mark();
     if (timer.millisElapsed = (insert time in milliseconds here))
     {
           setWorld(insert other world name here);
     }
}
That should work (I think). EDIT: Sorry, it's meant to be '==' not '='.

The code given by 101929ha will not work. The timer can only work by way of an act method (lines 5 through 8 will only execute once -- when the timer is marked, or started): 
private int timer = 0;

public void act()
{
    timer++;
    if (timer == 1650) Greenfoot.setWorld(new NewWorldClassName());
}
This would be for a 30-second timer in a scenario running at normal speeds -- along Hippo's suggestion.
