Can Visa delivery get delayed beyond travel dates?
Is it possible given that the embassy keeps note of the travel itinerary that they complete processing and dispatch of my visa later than my departure dates?
Wouldn't they simply reject my application if they find me lacking in travel requirements etc?
I am asking this because my departure is in two days and I have still not got any update on my Visa. Tomorrow is the last day and I want to understand what are the chances of me getting it.
So basically what I am asking is whether it is possible (usual?) for an embassy to dispatch the Visa later than the travel plans.

It's possible, especially if the travel plans are inherently somewhat flexible (think visiting family vs. attending a conference). But you're right that the consulate could simply refuse the visa because you do not have a purpose anymore.
