You deploy then see your canopy "there" but not "square" yet, just hovering above you without inflating.

Solution:
Most modern canopies will take approximately five seconds to completely inflate after the deployment is started, some may take as long as 10 seconds. Altitude awareness is critical, and if the canopy is not fully inflated by 2,500 feet, pull the cutaway handle followed immediately by pulling the reserve ripcord.
