Unfortunately, it's not that uncommon, although that is a bit long.

Have you asked your application manager what the hold-up is?  Usually there's
some reason if it goes this long.  Maybe the DAM asked him a question
which he hasn't answered?

That sucks.  Well, you can still work on your packages.  If you need a
sponser, you can contact me.  Since you've passed all but the DAM approval
stage, I'd hope you wouldn't need this much longer.
