Late or 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 "Not paid at the scheduled time" , "Behind schedule" , "Past the expected time of arrival" , "Past the appointed date for payment" , "Not paid by the appropriate time" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
