Why is MCT for LH418 in IAD so high?

I was looking at FRA-IAD on LH418 (748i) and then a connector to LAX, so I was trying to figure out the MCT and was astonished when I saw this:

[KVS Availability Tool 7.0.3/Diamond - Reference: Minimum Connection Time [MCT]: IAD/LH-UA]

Code:

                                               DD  DI  ID  II   
STANDARD:         IAD                          045 045 090 090  

EXCEPTIONS:                                                     
A/L FLT-NBR         DEPARR                                      

LH 0418                                        --- --- 105 105  
UA 0001-9999                                                    

-ALL-

I guess it is really only 15 minutes higher than the standard ID MCT, but still, why does it need an extra 15 minutes?
