I would guess it's a combination of two things;

1) The aircraft builds up delays over the course of the day. AMS is slot-restricted, which usually results in any delay being multiplied.
2) The aircraft waits for late connecting passengers. AFIK the AMS-ORK leg is the last flight of the day so it might be cheaper for EI to wait for connecting passengers than put them up overnight at AMS.
