Why might my engine not start sometimes?

Especially after driving for approx 15 miles and turning it off for approx 15 minutes? I have a new battery, new starter and solenoid, and just 3 days ago a new neutral safety switch. It started ok for 2 1/2 days after installing the neutral safety switch, and now it's malfunctioning again. I messed with the shift slider, tried it in neutral, rocked the car in parked position and nothing. It just clicks. I gave it a rest for maybe 15 minutes, tried again 2 times and it started.

Possibly the starter, starter relay, clutch switch/park and neutral switch/transmission position switch and ignition switch assuming the battery condition and connections are good. Note:If it doesn't apply disregard.
