the source engine's source code was stolen.
stolen not as in they lost it to someone else but in the fact that someone from the outside managed to get a copy for review.

this supposedly delayed the game in the fact that Valve had to change some some of the core technology since the original source code was viewable by hackers or other individuals who may use their technology against them (competitors, cheaters, hackers, virus/worm developers and so forth).

my guess is they delayed the game as it simply was too far from finished and the code theft was a believable excuse.
