To be honest, it sounds a little vague and I can't determine which parts of your project are already working. So I assume you have this idea for a project. For Pico or Pico type boards, the MCU should start running code in well under 100 ms -- things like "display the boot up" is only meaningful for RPi boards that are Linux-based.
Why not just start with making display work.
The nice thing about Waveshare is that they have a lot of tutorials and working code for various boards. First, go to the product page of the board you purchased. Find the wiki or resources page, that's where the tutorials and examples will be. If the examples are not for Pico, find any mention of Pico, usually there will be a few lines of instructions with a link to a code archive. Download the codebase for their Pico examples and find the code for the appropriate LCD, either C or MicroPython depending on what you plan to use. Then you can test the LCD with the example code, and later adapt the code for your project.
