And what is the validity of the saying that it is not permissible to perform the marriage contract for a previously married woman except on the day of consummation?

There is no objection to contracting marriage with a woman and then postponing consummation with her. The woman becomes a wife upon the valid conclusion of the marriage contract, and there is no difference in this regard between a previously married woman (thayyib) and a virgin (bikr).
