    Default Delayed / late / behind schedule

    I know that to express a delayed state of a project I could use behind schedule but I am not sure if it can be used in the following case as well:

    The teacher said: "my classes (progress) are behind schedule."

    How else can I say this?

    That seems to me to be the best way to say it.

    I see.

    I was looking for an alternative verb / expression to convey a delay in terms of work or production rather than time. I guess this is it then.
