** Movies came out at a pretty steady and consistent rate up until 2015. After the 2015 movie came out, fans had to wait ''6 years'' for the next movie to come out in 2021.
** ''Mighty Little Defenders'' was due to air in summer 2018, but they had to edit the show to make it more suitable for children and families. Because of this, it was delayed to winter 2019.
* Renowned computer expert Donald Knuth began work on ''The Art of Computer Programming'' in 1962, expecting to finish later that year. His publisher convinced him to divide the book into seven volumes, the first of which was published in 1968, six years later. Two more volumes followed in '69 and '73. The fourth volume proved to be so lengthy as to necessitate being further split into a projected three subvolumes, the first of which, 4A, was released in 2011. For those of you keeping score, that's a 38 year schedule slip, in a project that has been ongoing for nearly half a century.
** Contributory to schedule slip after volume 3 was Knuth becoming so irritated with the progressively worse typesetting each edition had had that he decided to create an entire typesetting system ([=TeX=]). As above, he seriously underestimated delivery time. He expected to finish it within a year. Seven years later, the software and multiple volumes of supporting documentation were completed. (This is a not unfamiliar problem with computing people known as Toolsmithing: Getting completely sidetracked from the task at hand by trying to develop the proper tools for the task at hand.)
* A semi-famous Sports Statistics page (DougStats) has had this happen because the sole webmaster works ''fifty hour workweeks'' at a different job, and also happened to have been raising a family on top of that. He does regularly get stat upgrades, but when things become severe at the start of the season, people start complaining.
* ''Manhwa/{{Priest}}''. The first ten volumes were released within a few months of each other, then the gap between volume releases got longer and longer, and now it's been three years without any sign of Volume 17.
* ''ComicStrip/{{Dilbert}}'': Though never happening with the comic itself, this trope is invoked with the 'Dilbert Newsletter' readers can sign up for, which author Scott Adams describes as 'coming out approximately whenever I feel like it'.
* The electronic band Music/EgoLikeness intended to release their [[ThemeNaming Compass EPs]] over four years, starting with ''South'' in 2007. However, ''East'' was not actually released until 2012.
* Music/GunsNRoses's ''Music/ChineseDemocracy'' was pushed back several times (to many an ObligatoryJoke that literal democracy in China would happen before the album) before finally being released in 2008, 15 years after the band's last album.
* Creator/JerseyJackPinball, as a company, has problems with release dates. People who purchased their first machine, ''Pinball/TheWizardOfOz'', had to wait as long as 18 months to receive one. Their second machine, ''Pinball/TheHobbit'', was supposed to coincide with the release of ''Film/TheHobbitTheDesolationOfSmaug'' on December 2013, but just as the movie had come out, the pinball machine was delayed by a year, then to coincide with ''Film/TheHobbitTheBattleOfTheFiveArmies'', then a year later. ''The Hobbit'' pinball machine was finally slowly getting shipped out to customers on March 2016, one by one, and will continue to do so through 2016.
* Creator/LeonardoDaVinci was highly irregular when working on ''Art/TheLastSupper''. It's said some days he would work throughout the whole day without eating just to paint, while others he would walk in, stare intensely at the painting, and contribute a single brush stroke before heading out. It ultimately took three years to make.
* It can take some time for Wrestling/OldeWrestling to post the results of their events.
* Music/Blink182's reunion album, ''Neighborhoods'', took over two years to record, from around the band's February 2009 reunion to mid-summer of 2011. The delays were caused by the way the band decided to record (separately from each other, with Tom in his studio in San Diego and Mark in his in L.A.), their other commitments (Mark having to fly to New York once a week for his TV Show, ''Hoppus On Music'', in addition to moving to London late in the game, Tom recording, not one, but ''two'' albums with his other band, Music/AngelsAndAirwaves, and Travis recording his own solo album), and their touring. When it was finally released in September 2011, it did receive positive reviews but wasn't as commercially successful as hoped for, given that the hype from the band's reunion had died down considerably prior to its release due it taking so long.

** Contributory to schedule slip after volume 3 was Knuth becoming so irritated with the progressively worse typesetting each volume had had that he decided to create an entire typesetting system (TeX). As above, he seriously underestimated delivery time. He expected to finish it within a year. Seven years later, the software and multiple volumes of supporting documentation were completed.

* Renowned computer expert Donald Knuth began work on ''The Art of Computer Programming'' in 1962, expecting to finish later that year. His publisher convinced him to divide the book into seven volumes, the first of which was published in 1968, six years later. Two more volumes followed in '69 and '73. The fourth volume proved to be so lengthy as to necessitate being further split into a projected three subvolumes, the first of which, 4A, was released in 2011. For those of you keeping score, that's a 38 year schedule slip, in a project that has been ongoing for nearly half a century.
* A semi-famous Sports Statistics page (DougStats) has had this happen because the sole webmaster works ''fifty hour workweeks'' at a different job, and also happened to have been raising a family on top of that. He does regularly get stat upgrades, but when things become severe at the start of the season, people start complaining.
* ''Manhwa/{{Priest}}''. The first ten volumes were released within a few months of each other, then the gap between volume releases got longer and longer, and now it's been three years without any sign of Volume 17.
