What are the possible reasons people open their businesses late?

It could be also cause administrative laws regulating each country/municipality. For ex., in my former country, there is a law forbidding merchants to maintain their shops opened along more than 7 to 8 hours per day, unless a special agreement with the Major House is signed. So standard merchants chose the standard timing that's to midday and 3 to 7 PM. Out of bakeries: they are allowed by the same law to open at 7 AM.

Yes, traffic congestion in big cities also contribute to this. To beat the menabce you need to leave your home as early as possible daily.

I too wonder why it's that way. In the morning when l would to buy some stuffs l always find out that most businesses are closed. It's evident that most business people open the businesses very late

Yes, some people might not just know that punctuality is needed in any business so they lazy around in the mornings

While some business people have genuine reasons for opening late, for others, it is just a lack of proper planning.

It also depends on the kind of business that you have and the locality too. For example, if it's a stationary shop in a locality close to school or college, it will have maximum business when students leave the premises in the afternoon. Or maybe a little in the morning before the school starts.
If it's a wine and liquor shop, it will open late in the afternoon or evening. There is no point opening it early in the morning. Most sale happens in the evening.

The possible reasons people open their business late could be lack of capital to start and then inability to get business location early too.

Some people don't open early especially if they feel bored that day. it is good to find something interesting to do even at the store

Opening hours depend on the type of business. Generally speaking, people do nor go for shopping clothes at 8 am but they will surely look for eateries by 8 am.
