There are probably plenty of examples in economics or similar (e.g. raising interest rates to reduce consumption and control inflation) but outside my knowledge.

In a physics context only I'm afraid: hysteresis is where a change in a measured value lags behind the thing that is causing the change. Magnetic fields and induction are the usual examples.

Same here, just trundling along behind you I expect on a packed, delayed train.
