A condition in which a child is behind schedule in reaching milestones of early childhood development. This term is often used as a euphemism for mental retardation, which can be less a delay than a permanent limitation of a child's ability to progress.

Golfers are expected to play "without undue delay." The question of exactly what constitutes undue delay has been under intensive study since 1971.

In aviation, a delay is considered any action taken by a controller that prevents an aircraft from proceeding normally to its destination for an interval of 15 minutes or more. 

to put off to later time

The amount of time by which an event is retarded. 2. The time between the instant at which a given event occurs and the instant at which a related aspect of that event occurs. Note 1: The events, relationships, and aspects of the entity being delayed must be precisely specified. Note 2: Total delay may be demonstrated by the impulse response of a d [..]

The stopped time per vehicle (in seconds per vehicle), usually calculated separately for each lane group.

Is the amount of traffic signal induced delay; the time vehicles are held up at traffic signals and by other traffic queuing at the signals.

  From a cyclist perspective, anything that causes unnecessary stopping or deviation and gives rise to extended journey times.

The difference in time that a vehicle, pedestrian, or bicyclist spends to travel in absence of interruptions compared to the travel time with interruptions. For this element, average control delay is measured, which is expressed in seconds per vehicle. A prevalent component of delay is control delay, which is the component of delay that results fro [..]

Delay is a time-based effect recognized as an echo sound. Digital delay is often used with reverb to help create atmosphere.

a common effect in a sampler or synthesizer that mimics the time difference between the arrival of a direct sound and the first reflection to reach the listener's ears.

 

Delay is an echo-like effect which gives the timbre more depth and three-dimensionality.

The time it takes for a signal to go from the sending station through the satellite to the receiving station. This transmission delay for a single hop satellite connection is very close to one-quarter of a second.

To perform below expected norms according to chronological age or grade level.

The elapsed time between the instant when user information is submitted to the network and when it is received by the user at the other end.

n. - The period in a any move where your character can no longer hit the opponent and is still stuck in recovery time, unable to do anything except wait for the move to finish. Also referred to as Frame Disadvantage.

This is when you enter in the next command in a string, at the last possible frame or within the 1st and last frames). This can also be done for rising attacks by pressing after you begin to move.

An audio effect plug-in that adds echoes by delaying an audio signal for a specified period of time.

A FLIGHT THAT IS OPERATING LATER THAN SCHEDULED

the amount of time it takes to traverse a given roadway segment minus the amount of time it would take to traverse that roadway segment at the posted speed limit if there were no interference; values are reported for AM and PM peak hours

Delay is the amount of time needed for a device such as a switch or router to process information (such as a frame or packet). It is the duration from the time a device reads the first byte of a frame or packet, until the time it forwards that byte. In this sense, delay is another word for latency. Delay is also associated with the length of time i [..]

Outboard sound equipment that can momentarily stores a signal being sent to part of a P.A. system so that delayed reinforced sound reaches the audience at the same time as live sound from the stage.

The amount of time by which an event is retarded. The time between the instant at which a given event occurs and the instant at which a related aspect of that event occurs.
