There are chances of pregnancy even after protected intercourse, though rare but can happen. Sometimes periods might get irregular due to stress or hormonal disturbances too but as you have said your cycles have always been regular, you can take a urine pregnancy test just to be sure a week after your expected date of periods.

Since you had properly protected intercourse and the condom was intact, the risk of pregnancy is very low. A slight delay in periods can also happen due to stress, hormonal changes, or cycle variation.
Next Steps
If your period doesn’t start in a few days, you can do a urine pregnancy test to be sure.
