Late, delayed (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

overdue

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">I believe this is a double definition.<br/ ><br/ >'<span class="explanation-format__original">late</span>' is the first definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(similar in meaning)</span><br/ ><br/ >'<span class="explanation-format__original">delayed</span>' is the second definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(something overdue has been delayed)</span><br/ ><br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for overdue that I've seen before include "after the time specified" , "unsettled" , "Behind schedule" , "Not paid by the agreed time, late" , "Past the appointed date for payment" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
