Delay in menstrual cycle could be due to some form of stress, be it physical (you're exhausted at work/home) or emotional. Try to adopt habits to relieve stress in a healthy way, like playing sports, listening to music, yoga etc. Also, if you happen to be following a stringently strict diet, reconsider your options and make sure your diet is balanced and healthy (not too low in calories especially fat, which is needed to make the female hormones estrogen and progesterone; also if fat is too low in the body, this will send signals to the brain not to stimulate the ovaries to produce ova and thus alter the menstrual cycle).
