I think the point was that in the UK, politicians are now intending to take their time with the actual Brexit process. Boris Johnson said "there was no need for haste about severing the UK's ties". Cameron said they wouldn't begin negotiations until there is a new prime minister (in October) and that they have 2 years to negotiate from when they invoke Article 50 [1]. That would put the final Brexit at October 2018 or so.
The EU seems to be angry that now the UK has made its decision, instead of acting swiftly, the UK are trying to remain in the EU as long as possible before Brexit. The EU would rather the UK finish negotiations & leave as soon as possible, so that everyone has certainty again.
