Brief Answer:
With in a week or so.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
Thanks for trusting hcm about your health care.
I have gone through your history and understand your concerns.

Her period get delayed due to side effects of postpone 72 pill due to hormonal imbalance ( because it contains high doses of hormone in it).

Period may get delayed for 15 days to one month and usually it is unpredictable.

So wait and watch for 7 days from your expected period date and if not resume your menses than get her pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy.

Hope found useful, feel free to ask more information.
Good luck.

Brief Answer:
It is not very predicted.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
Postpone 72 may delayed menses for 7-14 days from her expected period date.

Her expected period date this month is 20th so you can wait and watch for more 7 days.

If she will not resume her menses get her urine pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy.

Withdrawal bleeding is only side effect of emergency pills and it is nothing to do with pregnancy and period.

Hope found useful.
Good luck.
