It’s taking an *unreasonably* long time to assert rights or other legal claim. There is also a need to show that the delay was to the benefit of the one accused of Laches.

From Wikipedia :

A claim of laches requires the following components:

1. a delay in bringing the action

2. a delay that is unreasonable and

3. that prejudices the defendant.
