Question: The proposed link would include a 3.1 mile (5km) tunnel between the Great Western main line at Slough in Berkshire and the airport's Terminal 5.
But Network Rail said a planning application, due to be submitted in the next few weeks, had been delayed until late 2017.
Businesses said the link was needed to attract more people to Reading.
Nick Halstead, who owns technology business Datasift in Green Park, said the "disappointing" delay was making it harder to attract staff.
He said: "The delay is not a good sign for this project and other projects where Reading should be seen as important."
Slough Labour MP Fiona Mactaggart said the delay showed "a failure of leadership" by the government and was "pathetic".
Tim Brownstone, who runs Reading sportswear company Kymira, said the rail link was needed to bring external investment to the area.
In November, a review of Network Rail's investment programme by Sir Peter Hendy concluded a number of projects including this one would take longer than planned.
Julian Burnell, from Network Rail, said the delay was "not really anybody's fault"  and changes had to be made following the Hendy Report.
He said: "It's a brand new tunnel, it's an entirely new stretch of railway, and that takes a lot of time and a lot of careful planning."
A Network Rail spokeswoman added consultations with landowners and interested parties in the area also had to be completed.
Given the go-ahead by the government in 2012, it was originally planned the new service would be in operation by 2021.
The plan would save up to 30 minutes for passengers travelling from south Wales, the west of England and the Thames Valley.

Answer: A delay of almost two years in building a new £500m Heathrow rail link has been criticised by businesses.


Question: Both sides struggled to make things happen during a lacklustre first half of few chances.
It opened up after the break, with Jordan Williams wasting a great chance by dallying on the ball and giving Torquay time to recover after a swift counter-attack.
Torquay's Jared Hodgkiss was forced into a last-ditch block on the line to deny Moussa Diarra after Brendan Moore was caught flapping at a corner late on, but it stayed goalless.

Question: The technology, called Sure View, darkens the picture by "up to 95%" when observed from wide angles.
HP said the laptop can ensure privacy when used in public spaces.
One analyst said it could appeal to security-conscious enterprise customers.
Numerous peripherals companies already manufacture attachable glue-on screen filters that achieve the same effect, but HP claims its Sure View technology is the world's first "integrated" privacy screen.
It will launch with two new 14-inch laptops.
Pressing the F2 key enables the privacy mode, which HP said can reduce "up to 95% of visible light when viewed at an angle".
HP said the technology is becoming more of a necessity because of "visual hacking", a term it uses for infiltrating accounts by spying on people using their laptops and smartphones.
Chris Green, a technology analyst for communications agency Lewis, played down the impact of HP's technology.
"Angled screen view protectors are nothing new, they have been around 30 years," he said.
He added that while over-the-shoulder hacking is a security issue "it's not something that the industry is measuring with any research".
But Patrick Moorhead, a principal analyst for Moor Insights & Strategy, said that integrating the filter made the tech more dependable for enterprise customers.
"With the glue-on filters, IT departments don't actually know if you are using them. They may think they are managing security but they don't know for sure if that filter is on.
"So to me this lowers the risk, because IT departments can program the laptops so that the filter is always on."
Moorhead said the tech would be particularly useful "in environments of high security and high privacy such as healthcare, government, and even consultancy firms".
He added that, while there is little research to measure the prevalence of visual hacking "anecdotally I think it happens a lot".
Research conducted by the Ponemon Institute in Michigan claimed that nine out of 10 attempts to acquire sensitive business information using only visual means were successful.
Privacy firm 3M, which developed the Sure View technology for HP, funded Ponemon Institute's research.
