Resolution

Instead of using ProxyClientHelper.CreateClient method, reference Deployment Web Service and create proxy DeploymentServiceClient service = new DeploymentServiceClient("CustomBinding_IDeploymentService");

After creating the proxy, set timeout value for SendTimeout to have enough timeout value for your operation.

Example:
// Set SendTimeout as 4 minutes.
service.Endpoint.Binding.SendTimeout = new TimeSpan(0, 4, 0);
