Turkey S-400 SAM delivered today from Russia

Exactly. Screw the Reverse Engineering theory.

I'm now more interested where the F-35 stands (at this very point). Now that the S-400 has officially been delivered what does the US plan on doing. Ball is in their court. Turkey develops key components of the F-35 & the other partner nations seem to be siding with Turkey.

US banned delivery of F-35 to Turkey and cancelled training of F-35 pilots for Turkey.

a. Delivery was Delayed.
b. Training for Pilots was postpended...or delayed (as you mentioned).

I'm more interested what their (the US) Official stand is going to be now that it is delivered.

Turkey is still a key Member of NATO & has got more Military hardware compared to certain Nations combined together.

I sense Turkey has played its hand to perfection by not giving in to US pressure & could walk away with both the S-400 & (eventually) the F-35 in the not-so-distant future. Time will tell.

De jure delayed indefinitely unless Turkey returns S-400 back to Russia. De facto delivery has been canceled.

The US hates countries that don't kowtow to the US. For example, China, Russia, Iran, Syria, Venezuela, Cuba, North Korea, and now Turkey. Being a NATO member brings no benefits unless kowtow to the US.

Turkey reverse engineered Kornet missile bought from Russia and supplied thousands of these to NLF. Turkey cannot reverse engineer S-400 by itself. Turkey will have to send S-400 to America to reverse engineer it and then mass produce it to shoot Russians in Syria with S-400.
Seems like you have been living in mars since 70 s era

Oh shit! Turkey didnt do that, no reverse engineering for kornet. Turkey purchased(or demand) second batch after first 800 missile. if we could produce it why we demand second batch? what is your source about that claim?

So Turkey supplied bought Kornet to NLF? Kornet costs like 100 grand USD a piece. Laser guided. Very expensive. Turkey must have supplied thousands of Kornet to NLF they use these on cheap targets like pickups and machine guns. Turkey must have spent billions of USD on NLF buying Grad rockets from Bulgaria and Kornet missiles from Russia.
