Just stick to the facts, be tactful about what happened, and hope that they are understanding. If you just keep it simple and apologize for it being late for the above stated reasons, then that should be sufficient. Avoid blaming your BN Commander, but mention that they signed it much later than you had anticipated and only just received it back on the 14th.
