STUB (#7) is correct. It's a reversal (about) of "buts."

Hints for 9 & 11.
9. Raise an objection, and get mad at charges for delay. (9)
hint1: A+B
hint2: Think of charges for delay as used in a port/harbor parlance. Say, you had a car shipped from overseas. But you didn't pick it up when you were notified that it arrived. You picked it up a week later. They slap this charge (which they call by a particular name) for your delay.
11. Attest to very absorbing condition. (6)
hint: The "condition" is a conjunction (parts of speech).
