I think that a simple "auguri in ritardo" will do the job. Of course you can build on this.




"Scusami! Mi sono dimenticato di augurarti buon compleanno. Auguri in ritardo!"

    I agree, "auguri in anticipo/ritardo" is probably the most common way to say it.

If it's a friend's birthday, you can reply jokingly




Ho affidato i miei auguri per te ad una tartaruga... scusa il ritardo! Auguri!




or




La cattiva notizia è che ho dimenticato di spedire in tempo il tuo biglietto d'auguri. La buona notizia è che ho dimenticato la tua età! Spero che tu abbia passato un felice compleanno!

I use the slightly different "ritardati auguri".



You can find here a jokely list of wishes in case you are late.

    Ritardato in italiano is rarely used for “late”, while it also carries the meaning of “retard”...

If you are interested in an extended or humorous phrasing, other have already answered. The more straightforward ways to say “Happy belated birthday” are:
