    Hi @SweeFong Pan

    You could try to troubleshoot as following:

    1. Deactivate and re-activate the Workflows feature in Site collection features and check again.
    2. Clear SharePoint Designer Cache and check again.
    3. Try to DelayActivity by run following cmdlet
         stsadm -o setproperty -pn job-workflow -pv "Every 5 minutes between 0 and 59" -url http://yoursite
      
      You could refer to following article https://the-simple-programmer.blogspot.com/2012/10/sharepoint-workflow-delay-activity.html
