Martin Luther stated he would only reconcile with the Pope if the Pope accepted his 95 Theses in their entirety. On meeting with the Pope, the Pope accepted only a fraction of them which caused Martin Luther to break with the Communion of Rome.

Why did the pope wait to excommunicate Martin Luther?

He waited, because Luther had many people's attention and sympathies. The pope was hoping to pressure Luther to recant, so that his sympathizers would run to the Church of the pope. If Luther was excommunicated outright, those "followers" would likely stay with Luther and reject the imposed papal authority. When Luther was clear that he maintained his stand, he was excommunicated and many Christians went with him.
