Timeliness

Explanation:

Timeliness refers to how current the information is to the production of 'useful report' at the time needed.

Timeliness as a characteristic of quality data does not only refer to the availability of the information on time but also to how early the information is made accessible to the users of such information.

In case of the question, relevance as a characteristic of quality data was achieved but the inability to make make the report available when the users needed it resulted in the failure of the timeliness characteristic of the data provided.
