迟缓 is pronounced chíhuǎn and means “chậm trễ; chậm chạp”. HSK 6 places it in the Hanyu Shuiping Kaoshi, the standardised measure of Chinese proficiency. There is a real difference between having seen 迟缓 and being able to use it, and cramming a list flatters the first while doing little for the second.
