Is that the BA2760 at 10:40? If so that is within MCT.

Your options are indeed to cancel the ticket for a full refund (assuming you haven't travelled any of it); or a reroute at a time of your choosing (e.g. your next ex AMS service). There are various rules on fare buckets but on that route I doubt you will be denied a move to more or less any service. You could only get compensation if the flight suggested by BA (which could also be LCY....) was more than 4 hours late into AMS (see 4.1.ii of the Regs). If you choose another option that takes longer than that I can't see that giving you compensation. Ditto with the cancellation if BA proposes a schedule inside the 4 hour margin then a cancellation gives no extra compensation.
