How about something real explicit, like:  
"Getting Results Asynchronously" ... 
The app isn't really deferring the results; the results 
are deferring themselves; it's just telling them to 
give it a call when they arrive.  Rather than 
"deferring", I'd say what the app is doing is more like 
"subscribing".  "Deferred" might really be more like 
"stacked".
