I have backed around 10 projects on Kickstarter and every single one was delivered late, whether it be by months or by years. I have come to accept that you should ignore the delivery date and assume it will take atleast a year longer. That being said I have recieved 9/10 of my project backings.The 1/10 ruined the whole experience for me and opened by eyes to how this platform can, and is, being used for deceitful purposes. Once the money has exchanged hands Kickstarter will not do anything to help its backers even if their own terms and conditions are breached. They leave it up to their own backers to put together a law suit if they feel the need. More often than not, the projects I back are already selling in retail for the same price, or even less, before I have recieved my own product. I would strongly suggest avoiding Kickstarter or doing your research on the company beforehand as when you place a chargeback with your bank Kickstarter will fight against it.
