Subsequent change, with delayed start (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

later

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'subsequent' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

'change with delayed start' is the wordplay.
'change with' becomes 'r' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'delayed' becomes 'late' (I've seen this before).
'start' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'r' put after 'late' is 'LATER'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for later that I've seen before include "at a future date" , "When to see you?" , "there's more behind" , "Following" , "At a time in the future" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
