Stress causes delayed menstruation because it causes delayed ovulation - when we talk about stress delaying menstruation it's had to have been enough to cause physical strain on the body, which delays ovulation because the body will do what it can to prevent pregnancy at a time when it can't cope. If you were stressed around the time you were due to ovulate then you can assume that's the reason for a delayed period, but otherwise there is no way to know if stress was to blame.

Stress can disrupt your hormone levels, potentially leading to a delayed period. If you have been under significant stress and have experienced other symptoms such as changes in appetite, sleep patterns, or mood swings, it is possible that stress is the cause of your delayed period. It's important to consult with a healthcare provider to rule out any other underlying causes.

Can stress make your period late?

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.
