Daedalus was shut up in a tower by King Minos of Crete because he had helped Theseus escape the Labyrinth, which Daedalus had designed to contain the Minotaur. Minos sought to punish Daedalus for his betrayal and to prevent him from revealing the secrets of the Labyrinth. The tower served as both imprisonment and a means to keep Daedalus from aiding anyone else in their escape. Ultimately, this confinement led Daedalus to invent a plan for escape by creating wings for himself and his son Icarus.

What were some of Minos reasons for waiting to keep Daedalus on Crete?

Well there are some versions of the myth in which Daedalus is actually a Cretan. It wasn't until after the fall of Crete that the Hellenes (mainland Greeks) started making Daedalus an Athenian. In the non-Hellenistic versions of the Icarus myth, it's said that Minos was keeping Daedalus in a tower so that he wouldn't share the secret of the Labyrinth with the world. In this version, Daedalus and his son were kept in a tower. In later versions of the Icarus myth, it's stated that Minos imprisoned Daedalus because he helped Theseus to defeat the Minotaur by giving Ariadne the ball of string and giving him advice on how to navigate the maze. In this version, Daedalus and Icarus were kept in the Labyrinth.

Daedalus and his son Icarus had been imprisoned in a tall tower that structurally contained no stairs and no doors. The only window to the outside world was just that- a window. However, other tales suggest that Daedalus and his son escaped by sea, out-sailing King Minos's ships by being the first ever to attach "sails" on a boat.
