better late than never
definition: Being tardy is better than not at all, as in "We've been waiting for you for an hour--but better late than never".
This phrase, first recorded about 1200, appears in several early English proverb collections, often with the added but better never late.
Today it is often used in exasperation over a delay, as in the example.

It means 'better late than never'
More literally, it's 'It's worth more to be late than never', but that sounds rubbish!
