Interesting that different sites give slightly different arrival times, FlightAware says the delay was 3h15 late. But anyhow, all flight tracking sites seem to comfirm that the delay was more than three hours even if there is slight variation on how many minutes more. And I decided to see how was the flight to the opposite direction that day and OR775 AMS-AYT was also over 3 hours late, so I would say it would be hard to justify blaming any significant the part of delay on the return leg on reasons beyond airline control (and outside scope of EC261 compensations) like weather or ATC restrictions especially as the flight times that day seems to be in line with the other other flights on this route. Even if eg. ATC directed the plane to Polderbaan at AMS, that is hardly unusual even if that runway is notoriously far from the terminal.
