having delayed its engineering


Explanation:
To accurately reflect the use of the part participle on its own in Spanish, in English it would be translated as 'having delayed'.

delayed its engineering (plans)


Explanation:
I think you have parsed it incorrectly "atrasada **SU** ingeniería".


...difficulties with public permits, delayed its engineering (plans) ..., or words to that effect.

Your comment: Could it refer to "be behind on his engineering schedule/plans? Is the Client a company? Why "his"?

disagree  William Bowley: Atrasada does not translate as delayed when used as a past participle alone here (delayed would be atrasó)
