Wondering if there is something can be done to get the Game finished in the LADDERS, even though my OPPONENT has made 4 other Games with these moves. this player has lost one and drew one and as far as I can tell there is only 7 games in progress, last moves are from 10 March 23 to 13 March 23

The guy is well withing the time, so no problem whatsoever. It is their good right to ponder as long over their moves as time permits.
If time runs out you can take that timeout.

The short answer is "No" As long as your opponent doesn't exceed time controls in this event, he (or she) is within their rights to play at this pace. Some constructive things you can do while waiting is: 1. Set up this position on a physical board and analyze it as deeply as you can, try to locate weakness's you can exploit. 2. Enter another event, your game load isn't unusually heavy, so another section might be in order. 3. Study: Tactics, playing through GM games that use your openings, endgame study (especially rook and pawn) and tutorials on you tube such as chess dojo are a good choices while waiting for an opponent to move.
Modest game loads provide an opportunity to play high quality games as well as improve your skills if you use that time wisely. 🙂
