Blitz Chess #341: Sicilian Defense, Nimzovich-Rossolimo attack

This is a blitz chess game I played as white with time control 3|0. The opening was the Sicilian Defense, Nimzovich-Rossolimo attack. White prepares to form an ideal pawn duo in the center with 4.c3. A slight downside is that it costs some time in the white development. Is this developmental difference something that black can exploit in a position where the center quickly becomes the focal point of the game?
