Going back over the last 24 years of reports, up to and including 2006 they were almost without exception published in February. Since 2007 they have been published in March. I seem to recall one in the mid-'noughties' that was published at the last minute; pretty sure it was in the last week of March. The 'delay' is hardly unprecedented, though no more excusable.
