Sorry I am a little confused. If your employer issued a COS on the 14th December they could have given you the COS details for you to apply for your visa at that point.
Employers do not seek permission to issues a COS, they just do it. If the employer doesn’t have any CoS in hand then they apply for more. That can take up to 16 weeks. Perhaps that is the hold up?

OP probably stating that employer informed them of submitting application to get their COS in which case the delay since December could be that up to 18weeks wait you wrote.
