One possible reason to be late is "miscommunication," where a misunderstanding about meeting times or locations leads to delays. Another could be "malfunction," such as a vehicle breakdown or technology failure that prevents timely arrival. Additionally, "medical emergencies" can also cause unexpected lateness.

Nail in tire, not feeling well, nausea, never heard the alarm, and napping are reasons to be late.
Jogged for exercise this morning. It took me longer than I intended.
