The biggest release delay was because the original date would have put it up against The Road to Perdition, another similair movie. So instead they decided to stick it in the winter season, which in turn also gives it a better chance for an Oscar run. Scorcose also asked for a 100,000 dollar church to be made specifically for the movie and that slowed things down a bit as well. Your theory should be correct, none of the delays show that the movie has been delayed because of it's poor quality.
