Delay analysis is the examination of construction schedules and factual records to determine when project delay occurred, its causes, and its effect on completion, underpinning extension-of-time claims and disputes.
Delay differential equation
A delay differential equation is a differential equation whose rate of change depends on past states, not only the present one, so the system carries a memory.
Delay discounting
Delay discounting is a behavioral paradigm measuring how a reward's perceived value falls as the delay before receiving it grows, typically through choices between smaller immediate and larger delayed rewards.

Delay-and-sum beamformer
A delay-and-sum beamformer is a signal processing method that delays each sensor's signal by an amount set by the array geometry and pointing direction, then sums them, so waves from the steered direction add coherently.

Delayed coking
Delayed coking is a semi-batch thermal cracking process that converts vacuum residue into gases, naphtha, gas oils, and petroleum coke, accounting for 88% of world coking capacity.
Delayed detached eddy simulation
Delayed detached eddy simulation (DDES) is a hybrid RANS–LES turbulence modeling approach, introduced by Spalart and colleagues in 2006, that runs RANS in attached boundary layers and switches to LES in separated flow.
Delayed Diagnosis
Delayed diagnosis (late diagnosis, diagnosis delay): a diagnosis established later than optimal, one of three diagnostic error types; affects about 5% of US outpatients yearly, driven by test-ordering and follow-up failures.
Delayed ejaculation
Delayed ejaculation, also known as retarded ejaculation, is a male sexual dysfunction in which a man needs an unusually long time to ejaculate, or cannot at all.
Delayed encephalopathy due to carbon monoxide poisoning
Delayed encephalopathy due to carbon monoxide poisoning, also called delayed neuropsychiatric sequelae, is a rare neurological disorder that emerges weeks after apparent recovery from carbon monoxide poisoning, causing cognitive impairment, personality changes, and parkinsonism.
