Well, you can find several things about that.
First, on Wikipedia page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
Lockheed_Martin_F-35_Lightning_II#Program_cost_increases_and_delays ), 
you will learn that software is one of the main actors in the delays.

More technical information can be found there (https://www.csiac.org/
sites/default/files/
journal_files/2010_03_30_SoftwareQualityReliabilityandErrorPrediction.pdf 
) from page 36 to 39.
One thing linked to the other posts in this thread is the choice of C/C++ 
for staffing concerns.

But don't count on me to make the link between software delays and the 
C++ choice :)
