English has lots of ways to say that we are late. My two favourite are behind schedule and
playing catch-up. Both of these
expressions can be used when we are not on schedule.
examples
I was late for work this morning and have been playing
catch-up all day.
Greg was two weeks behind schedule and his boss was very
unhappy.
The product launch was way behind schedule and there was a
lot of tension in the office.
Because Marion
was always playing catch-up with her projects, she was fired.
