Some of the possibilities:
Extra holding because another aircraft was slow to vacate the runway, etc
Extra holding because there was someone who suddenly needed to land before your plane
Extra holding because they changed the runway (they sometimes have to do this because of the wind direction, procedures, etc etc)
etc etc

There are numerous, completely benign reasons (as far as your flight is concerned) for taking longer to land than expected.

It does not mean that your plane had any problems at all.
