Too late: That will be very late for a male or female and full endocrine workup is needed.

Late puberty: Possible but unlikely. If puberty is really not completed by this age you should see an endocrinologist. There may be a pathological reason why not.

Is it possible to have a normal or early puberty start but have a delayed or late bone age? My cousin started puberty at 9, he is now 15, is it possible for his bone age to be delayed? Like his bone age is at 13 or 14 right now even though he is 15?
