EPO publication rules

My simplistic understanding of EPO publication timing is that
18 months after the priority date the application should publish.
Are there any exceptions to this? If one should encounter an EP publication
that is a couple of months late according to the 18 month rule, is there
a way of determining what caused the delay?
