Hi,
Contraceptive injections are inbuilt with hormone progesterone which is known to cause irregular periods and irregular bleeding patterns. If you were already delayed and were without protection those days, you should check pregnancy by repeat home pregnancy test and USG pelvis if needful.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
