The answer

Praise be to Allah, who has granted you well-being. Delaying a time-bound vow beyond its stipulated time, without necessity or a valid excuse, is impermissible. Whoever does so incurs sin and is obligated to repent, offer an expiation for a broken oath (kaffarat yameen), and then fulfill the vow.

Therefore, you must repent to Allah Almighty if you delayed fulfilling the vow beyond its specified time without a legitimate Shar'i excuse. You are also required to offer an expiation for a broken oath (feeding ten poor persons, or clothing them, or emancipating a slave; or fasting for three days if you cannot find any of these), and fulfill the vow as soon as possible.
