Women can experience what they consider a "delay" in their periods with nothing being wrong. Reasons for a period that is late, delayed or even missed entirely include: pregnancy, recent illness, new medication, weight change, excessive stress or medical conditions.
You can wait a week to see if your period begins, but please know that it is completely normal for women's bodies to ebb-and-flow with their menstrual cycles---our bodies are not exact machines, as they react to our surroundings and can change within normal ranges (a normal range for cycles is between 21-35 days).
