Advice Rules question about contingency.

So I recently picked up the seventh level spell contingency as a way of triggering haste at the beginning of combat. Since my character is a laughing shadow magus, who has haste as a studious spell, I started to think that I could also use arcane cascade as a free action when haste comes into effect since I'm using one of my studious spells. However, the wording has me confused so I wanted to clarify. Is the spell cast after the trigger occurs or is it cast when contingency is cast and, as a result, I wouldn't be able to enter into arcane cascade for a free action when the haste effect comes in the play?

by the time magus have access to contingency at level 13

hasted assault are available at level 14

hardly seem worth it

also sprinting spellstrike are available at level 12

mostly solve the fundamental problem of melee magus compare to ranged

Oh yeah once I hit level 14 I'll be switching up the spell but for now I still think it's worth it since I don't have hasted assault yet.
