Transaction congestion on the Bitcoin blockchain. You might want to wait until this clears out or if you are in a hurry, use a transaction accelerator.  
You can use ViaBTC’s tx accelerator, just do it on a full hour and be fast.  
You should also consider using Tor browser with these services so you don’t associate your transactions with your IP.
