It can delay by 7-14 days.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
Thanks for trusting hcm about your health care.
I can understand your concerns.
The chances of pregnancy are quite low in her case as she had I- pill within time and these type of sexual activities does not cause pregnancy.
I - pill can delay menses by 7-14 days,so she should wait and watch for her menses but to be safer side take a home urine pregnancy test after 7 days of her missed period date to rule out pregnancy.
Hope found useful, feel free to ask more questions.
Good luck.
Regards
