Project Web App is stuck on: Waiting for resources

Question

While trying to unprovision a PWA in order to move the DB to a new SQL Server. I followed the following article

After the "Delete" phase of the Project, it's stuck in

" Waiting for Resources" - (That's step #4 in : To unprovision the PWA site)

enter image description here

The server is at this for over 24 hours already. How can I release this ?

Note : The server is a Virtual Machine (if it makes any diff)

Timer service was stopped and in Manual.

Starting the Timer Service, solved this issue.

Starting the timer service strangely solved this problem without need to restart any service . Don't need to rerun project web app instance wizard. – saber tabatabaee yazdi May 13 '17 at 5:36
