1.Yes due to unprecedented delay and no ;cer assurance you can always come out of the deal.
2. In that event you will have to send a formal notice of cancellation and then ask for refund along with all interest.
3.if the builder refuses to do so you can file case beofre the consumer forum.
If the delay is inordinate and unreasonable and due to the fault of the builder, you may issue a demand notice seeking to pay the penalty invoking the clause that has been incorporated in this regard in the sale agreement.
If the builder is not responding or not complying with the demand made, you may drag him to the consumer forum with a complaint for deficiency in service and also for compensation for this besides for the mental agony you suffered due to this.
how long will it take to go through legal process and get refund?

First you may issue a legal demand notice to the builder, wait for his response.
If the response is not satisfactory and there is no settlement in sight, you may initiate legal action through court.
The court case may take at least one to two years depending on various factors.
it will take 2 years for case to be disposed of before district consumer forum
2) it all depends upon pendency of cases before consumer forum
