SSDT: timeout in create database script - timeout

Question

We have recently moved to SSDT for our database management and deployment tool. We are using SqlPackage.exe to deploy the package. We are occasionally getting timeout errors when deploying the package. After looking at the errors, I added /p:CommandTimeout=900 in the commandline parameters of the sqlpackage. But it is still failing on some occasions and when it fails, it fails within few seconds. So I'm guessing it is not hitting that p:CommandTimeout.
I couldn't find documentation on any other timeout.
Here is the detailed error message -
Error SQL72014: .Net SqlClient Data Provider: Msg -2, Level 11, State
0, Line 0 Execution Timeout Expired. The timeout period elapsed prior
to completion of the operation or the server is not responding. Error
