Yes it can almost be 5 days late. I know.

Stress can not only make a woman's periods late, it can make them cease altogether. Amenorrhea (absence of menstruation) is usually due to pregnancy but it can also occur when a woman is breastfeeding or is approaching menopause. In line with this question though, extreme stress can cause amenorrhea in some women. It is ironic that for some girls, worrying about whether they are pregnant can actually delay their period, which in turn makes them more worried/stressed - which delays it further - etc. - until they finally accept that they are pregnant, and then BOOM here comes Mary (an old slang term for getting a period). Not all women will actually have their periods delayed by stress, but it is common. Completely stopping menstruation because of stress is a lot less common and usually due to extreme stress. Some women athletes who are really pushing themselves put so much stress on their bodies that their periods stop. Women suffering from starvation may also have their periods delayed or stopped. Notice that in each case the term is MAY.

Does stress make a period come later or sooner?

Stress can make menstruation later than predicted. If a person is under stress - that is enough to cause physical symptoms - the body will delay or skip ovulation in order to prevent pregnancy at a time of stress, thus in turn as ovulation is delayed menstruation can be delayed too.
