It depends on what it’s meant by delays. In over 40 years of professional activity, I have never delivered a translation late. In fact, to tell you the truth, it happened to me once when I got the delivery date wrong. I was so embarrassed that it served as a lesson to me. I'm even known for delivering ahead of schedule. As for delays due to terminology research, for me these are not delays, they are intrinsic to the activity and are probably what I like most about translation – the feeling of having found the right term.
