Off the top of my head, the A380 is about a year late - the 787 must be about the same by now, if not worse.
First 787 flight was supposed to be August 27th with delivery the following June IIRC, thats now late June for First flight and delivery in the beginning of 2009 so theres around 9-10 months there.

As for the A380, first flight was only a few months behind schedule in April 2004 with delivery supposed to happen in early 2006, the delays were then drip fed upto ultimately the first delivery (and the only one for the year) being in October 2007 so it's nearer 18 months in that case.
