I would be looking at the "real" message headers (in outlook they are

to see if there is any clue there.

I found something. I've double-quoted the notable bits, and redacted certain information that appears either sensitive, irrelevant, or both.

My non-delayed email:

And the delayed one:

Notice how on the delayed message, the date on the "Received: by" header, second from the top, is the ONLY date stamp to show the long delay.

That's definitely something; I'm not sure what it means. But it seems to be the most significant difference.
