The best Cauliflower grower in the UK who has won the NVS class for this vegetable many times has a similar problem this year. His caulis have just sat doing nothing form weeks on end. It has just been a difficult season so don't be despondent. The cold nights and changeable weather have probably given your plants a check and stunted them
If the central leaves are still nice and tight there is hope but if they have opened up I'd dig them up. My caulis are taking longer than usual this year but getting there eventually.
Mark Twain said that a cauliflower was just a cabbage with an education - maybe your cauliflowers are ignorant of their purpose and think that they are cabbages!
