We don't know why sentencing has been delayed.

the judge gave it as an option as he wanted more cooperation from Flynn

I think the judge believes there is more information that Flynn can give up. The judge is squeezing him.

Judge Sullivan to Michael Flynn: Arguably, you sold your country out."
Judge Sullivan: Im not hiding my disgust, my distain for this criminal offense.
Says he cant guarantee hes going to avoid incarceration. Gives Flynn yet another opportunity to speak with his lawyers.

Replying to @ryanjreilly
Judge Sullivan is now asking government if Flynn could have been charged under the Logan Act, or if there are any other charges that Flynn could have faced.
Judge Sullivan even asked the government whether Flynn could have been charged with treason for interfering in Russian sanctions imposed by Obama administration. Government didnt want to go there.

the joint recommendation of the Prosecution and Defense teams and has indicated that he is prepared to hand out some serious time. He asked the Prosecution team if they ever considered charging Flynn with treason.
He is providing incentive for Flynn to sing more if there is anything else to sing about.
