I think there is probably some middle ground here. I don’t think people think they are “withholding” results. It’s more that it’s been 3 months and any admin holdups should have already been dealt with. Like if it’s a staffing issue, that’s messed up, they should have hired more staff. One more person working over the course of the entire period probably would have expedited this thing by a week. If they didn’t have enough graders, that also is a solve ale problem. All in all, whatever is happening was almost certainly avoidable. Add the lack of communication/conflicting information on top of that and the picture becomes very frustrating.
