Delays

Delays refer to the instances or periods when something is postponed, held up, or occurs later than expected or scheduled. This term can apply to various contexts, such as transportation (e.g., flight delays), project timelines (e.g., delays in construction), or processes (e.g., delays in approvals). Delays can result from various factors, including unforeseen circumstances, logistical issues, and inefficiencies. The consequences of delays can vary, impacting schedules, costs, and overall productivity. In general, a delay indicates a deviation from an anticipated timeline, often leading to frustration or complications for those affected.
