How to say my meetings have caused cascading delay
Solution 1:
A day to day phrase?
My meeting took longer than expected and it has had a domino effect on the meetings after it.
domino effect TFD an idiom
A phenomenon in which an initial event causes a series of other related events to occur, much like the sequence seen in toppling dominos
Like a self sustaining reaction or a chain reaction (figuratively).
Solution 2:
If you want a phrasal verb, I can suggest "set back"
phrasal verb
1.If something sets you back or sets back a project or scheme, it causes a delay.
Collins Dictionaryset someone/something back
1.Delay or impede the progress of someone or something.
Oxford Living Dictionaries
"set back" by itself may be OK, but I personally think that using the word timetable or schedule with it is a lot better.
- "The last meeting ran late, and now my whole schedule has been set back. I apologize."
Or possibly "one of my meetings" instead of "last meeting".
