Have you checked with them to see what the delay is? Planning on going in May and looking like I will need the PRTD but hearing it is taking you this long does not bode well.
Hello
It is also taking long with me.
I meet the residency obligation because I am accompanied by my Canadian wife.
I am not sure if there is any way to contact them

Am I correct in assessing that ordinary subjects of Saudi Arabia are being discriminated against and stalled in processing of the PR card renewal application?
P.S. If true, I find it particularly ironic: Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is created by United Kingdom (was part of the strategy to break up Ottoman Empire centuries ago), and the Royal House/King are greeted all over the Europe, UK and US as heroes and closest allies, with Prince Charles dancing sabre dance with royals. Yet, when it comes to ordinary citizens, people wait for months to get their PR cards renewed? Is it just low level racism and bigotry of app processors, or some kind of nefarious and double edged policy? Interesting.

How much time did you spend in Canada with your wife after your landed as a PR before going abroad? Not all time abroad with a spouse counts towards RO.

Not if you never established yourselves in Canada first. It says that days can count if the PR is accompanying the Canadian abroad. She was accompanying you abroad. It will be up to IRCC to determine whether your time together counts.
Not really. There is "who accompanies whom" rule, it was posted on this sub-forum several times. If she accompanied you (as opposed to you accompanying your Canadian citizen spouse), then legally days spent outside of Canada would not count towards RO. There are instances where CIC errs and grants PR renewal despite the rule (I don't know whether it's done on purpose or due to adjudicating officer not knowing the rules), but by law there is a distinction and what you were told above is correct.
