Late, delayed (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

overdue

I believe this is a double definition.

'late' is the first definition.
(similar in meaning)

'delayed' is the second definition.
(something overdue has been delayed)

(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.
