The train was five minutes behind schedule. 火车晚点了5分钟。
The project was nine months behind schedule.
The train was late for 5 minutes.

Behind schedule,是比较规范的“晚点”的说法。如果说the train was late for 5 minutes,在口语中也是可以的,相当于“火车迟到了5分钟”。但在下面这个句子中,用late就不太合适了:The project was nine months behind schedule. 这个项目拖期了9个月。
