May it be said "in delay" as for something taking place fifty years after the moment it had to occur?

Place and time shifting do not prevent developed action be (or is) clear and understandable



Thanks a lot
It is has (ie, she has, he has, it has, and I have, you have, they have,etc)

Are is correct

"Fifty years after the event, she reacted to the violent death that had taken place in front of her".

Hope that helps.
