Stress can delay the period (or in some cases, make them more often, more, or less severe). It can be a few weeks, one cycle, a couple of months, or more. It depends on the person, the severity of the stress, etc.
If you aren't pregnant but are experiencing irregular cycles, birth control pills can help regulate your cycles. The regular hormone intake (via the pill) keep the levels in your body where they should be and you can get back on track. If you are already are on birth control pills, you may need a "stronger pill." Ask your doctor.

Generally not for more than a few days, if your body is fairly regular in it's cycles.
If your cycles aren't very regular (you skip months all the time) it's possible to be very stressed and skip or delay your period even more.
If your cycle is more than a week late, and you suspect you might be pregnant, take a drugstore pregnancy test. If it's negative, take another one a week later.

Sometimes, indefinitely. The best way to regulate a stress-induced irregular cycle is to find a stress-reducing technique.
