Is there is a dedicated touch*screen* configuration panel in SystemSettings/Input Devices? NB: touch*pad* is the trackpad, if you have one of those too. If not, or if that panel is of no help:

If Duncan is right and you're running into a Plasma "feature" which cannot at the moment be configured there are basically 2 options 
- your distro packages the touch-interface in an optional package. Uninstall that. Plasma should lose support for using your panel for its own features but you still have the device drivers installed so it should still work at the system level
- set up another DE and use that instead of Plasma. Most environments allow changing the window manager so if you're fond of KWin and its widget styling you can still use that. And of course your KDE applications will continue to work.

FWIW I've written a long-press-for-contextmenu feature myself using Qt's tap-and-hold gesture, but only on certain widgets. I do think it triggers in about 1s so that must be a Qt constant. And indeed:
