Is LEED final review typically late? The anticipated date of return was 10 days ago. We're getting a little nervous. We did have a clarification, but that was returned in a timely manner. Is this typical lately? Our Preliminary review was 6 days late as well.

They can be depending on the time of year. On average we have found a week past the return date is typical.

That can happen especially in the rush to get projects certified ahead of Green Build every year.

Thanks for the comments. It is now 18 days past due the anticipated return date for the final review. Our client is getting a little impatient. Should I contact someone or is this still typical?

To keep your client happy and keeping the blame off you, give customer service a call asking for the status of the review. There is really nothing you can do at this other then ask. If it's still being reviewed, you can pass this on to your client.
There are only so many review teams. So on top of dealing with an influx of new certifications, they can also be swamped with finals, appeals, MRCs, or anything else that may come into question. Certs go through a few people before they are sent back to the project teams to ensure consistency and to ensure the review is done right.

I've called several times about the status of past due reviews. They'll make a record of your call and pass it along to the review team. Whether or not it has spend up the response time is hard to say, but it certainly doesn't hurt. In my experience, they are very customer oriented.
