Greetings, We can use couple of impressive sentences to take time. 1. Sorry for trespassing your time. 2. May I take your more time please? 3. Excuse me for encroaching your time. 4. I wonder if you could extract some more time for me? 5. Would you mind my taking your time? Hope it helps :) Mantra Deepika

These are formal expression. If one wants to use good vocabulary and enrich the language ,one can use these expressions and can be used any part of the world. regards, Deepika Mantra

I have the same concern as Mr Zhang. Unfortunately, none of Mantra's examples are grammatically correct. You'd need to say "trespassing on" and "encroaching on", but using those phrasal verbs with "time" sounds unnatural to my ears. The OP asked for apologies for time already taken up, and half of the ideas here are not only incorrect English but they're about asking to take up even more time. So even when they're corrected, they won't answer the question.

"Sorry for taking your time" does seem quite right to me because "taking your time" means to proceed slowly and carefully. It's much safer (if you want to be understood) to say "Sorry for taking up your time" or "Sorry for taking up so much of your time." But, even better, is "thank you for your patience". You hear that a lot. It's better (psychologically) to give the listener a compliment than an apology.
