It is not permissible to delay the distribution of after it becomes due, except for a valid excuse, such as the absence of eligible recipients or the unavailability of the wealth. What you have mentioned is not an excuse. Therefore, you are obligated to distribute all of the zakat when the Hawl (one lunar year) is completed.
