The German word "verlegen" can mean:
1. to misplace, to put something somewhere and not being able to find it anymore
2. to publish something (actually putting something where EVERYONE is able to find it)
3. embarrassed
4. to reschedule
5. to relocate
So, the sentence "Der Verleger war verlegen, weil er das Manuskript, das er verlegen wollte, verlegt hatte, und darum alle Termine verlegen musste" makes perfect sense.
Enjoy our language!
