Yes. When a service is started, the service control manager expect the service to call StartServiceCtrlDispatcher()[^] with in 30 sec. I hope you havent called this function. Read the remark section in the above link for more details.

Your service has not called SetServiceStatus with the dwCurrentState field in the SERVICE_STATUS parameter set to SERVICE_RUNNING within "a timely fashion." That time is something like 20 or 30 seconds. Services[^] Service example[^] Judy
