I had a major clash with one of my supervisors today . Out of the many lot i have he is my favourite and we seem to get along. Since i have this multidisciplinary project, i was visiting his department where he has kindly gave me desk space. I sensed that he was a bit tense this morning as during the departmental meeting he was rather distant etc. He finally came around and apologized for being distant and mentioned he was under pressure. I then realized he is human after all with another full time job and other students and that i should not put him up on a pedestal. I left the department tonight feeling like the fun of going to his department is over and now i should just go there do my work and leave.
just ranting after a bad day.

I don't understand how this constitutes a 'major clash'?

I don't understand anything about the OP.

It's not procrastination. It's "just in time" delivery.
Nutso is the new normal.
