I'd go to a hardware store and ask for one of those timers which runs a
bathroom extractor fan for a fixed period after the light is turned off.

An off-the-shelf solution will almost certainly be cheaper than a
homebuilt one once you factor in the cost of putting it in a box,
providing a power supply for the electronics, etc.
