It can just take that long to go thru the patent preparation & prosecution process, esp in this Art Group.

Once the patent issues, the public can look at the transaction history in what’s called the USPTO PAIR System (Patent Application Information Retrieval)

Here is a link to PAIR. Just choose Patent Number for your search, input in the Patent # (11,041,013), hit Search button, and you can then check out information specific to this patent in the “Transaction History“ tab. It shows every transaction between the USPTO & inventor(s) in obtaining the patent. You can also root around to see other info that may be of interest re continuing applications, assignments, and so on.

Doe not matter if one can delay the patent approval. The 17 year clock starts at application, not approval.

Several decades ago the US would start the 20 year clock at approval. And yes, that led to intentional delays by the applicant. It was actually fairly easy to do, just include stuff you know the examiner will toss and then correct it. Again an again.
