Why is the COT report delayed?

Can you elaborate on the reasons behind the delay in releasing the Commitments of Traders (COT) report? Is it due to technical difficulties, administrative issues, or perhaps a lack of timely data submission from participants? Given the importance of this report in providing insights into the positioning of large traders in the futures markets, a delay can significantly impact market participants' ability to make informed decisions. Is there any estimated timeline for when the delayed report might be released, and are there any measures being taken to prevent future delays?
