Adam's answer of "default" is also good. Default refers to the action of not paying, whereas arrears refers to the amount owing.

neutral  Karolina Olga: The delay/default refers to action agreed in contract, not delays in payment/ arrears although that could be the action.

disagree  Adam Lankamer: "postponement" to "odroczenie", z reguły w określonych okolicznościach umownie dozwolone i przewidziane, tymczasem "default" (zwłoka) ma charakter zachowania strony stanowiącego naruszenie zobowiązań umownych
