Pause — delay (9)
I believe the answer is:
interlude
This clue is a double definition.
'pause' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)
'delay' is the second definition.

(Other definitions for interlude that I've seen before include "Space of time; break" , "Intervening period" , "Eli turned (anag.)" , "Temporary amusement or diversion" , "Intermission, break" .)
