I don't particularly mind the fix - but how did you justify Match Loss?

(and secondly - now that I think of it, if you're going to Match Loss the player it probably doesn't make sense to also delay everyone else. He can use his match loss time to rebuild).

He played with an illegal number of cards so we are talking about Deck/Decklist Problem which is a game loss. But the match cannot be completed, because the fix we decided to do takes more than half an hour.

Agree, but it took us some time to find an appropriate ruling, communicate it with the player and remove the 14 cards. So poorly it was the end of the round 3, when he started building the new deck.

This feels far enough out of the normal to have applied the penalty
when we figured out what to apply not when it was caught.
