delayed its engineering (plans)
I think you have parsed it incorrectly "atrasada **SU** ingeniería".
...difficulties with public permits, delayed its engineering (plans) ..., or words to that effect.

Your comment: Could it refer to "be behind on his engineering schedule/plans? Is the Client a company? Why "his"?
...difficulties with public permits, delayed its engineering (plans) ..., or words to that effect.

William Bowley
: Atrasada does not translate as delayed when used as a past participle alone here (delayed would be atrasó)

Excuse me ... you've entered the exact same thing as I have except to stick in "having! This tense concept is hogwash - translate the entire phrase, please! According to you, engineering and that is it? Really?
