The announcement before take-off was that they needed to offload the luggage belonging to passengers who suddenly were not flying and then a sudden change in runway (due to weather) causing further delays.

I arrived in Oslo 24 hours late and would like to claim compensation.

Thanks in advance.

It is all put down to passenger convenience, 'PS' aka pax causing the delay. A runway change will incur a delay as we need to re run the take off performance, aircraft set up and briefing, but that is not acknowledged in the codes used bar a nondescript comment.
