delayed response

When something bad happened you just stood there staring in space blankly and can't digest the news. Few hours after that the news hit you. It suddenly feels real and you just burst into tears like an insane maniac. It is like a pending reaction.
Doctor coming out of operation theatre.

"Im sorry Mrs. Smith, your husband didn't make it through surgery"

Mrs. Smith collapse and just sit on the chair for hours.

Later after that she bursted into tears and scream like mad. She just can't believe the news is real. That's a painful delayed response.

Delay Hole

Someone who adds road-blocks, bottlenecks, extra steps, and unneeded issues that delay something or someone, either through inconsiderate thinking, a need to increase their own importance through adding work or over complication, or to gain additional time for themselves in a situation or project where they will not be able to deliver.
