Periods can get delayed due to pregnancy, increasing age (near menopause) and stress also.
Test for pregnancy with blood test (Beta hcg). If it is negative then you can take tablets for the periods.
If your periods are continuing to be irregular then it might be due to peri menopause.

Stress and long working hours is not the reason for the delayed period
If it is not pregnancy you could have attained menopause
To evaluate other reasons you need investigations
