after having my own business for 40 years my advice is, have a written agreement and get paid as soon as the work is completed to each partys satisfaction

Where did the 9 mths come from? 1 Feb to end of Sept is 8 mths. 

Earlier this month, Sept, six months the bill arrived.

Just over 7mths to early Sept, depending on what date the Feb work was done.
