Here is my version:
I also have a feeling mechanics have adopted the word, I don't know if it's all mechanics or what. But from my readings, there is no sighting that I can see on the internet about the use of the word Retard in mechanic language unless I type mechanic and retard together. But under the word Retard on all my finding it is in regards to a persons disability.
That is the exact same definition that I quoted above, and I specifically highlighted the portion in which it states that it is related to the slowing of something's progress. Yes, it also lists the informal (slang) definition of the word used as a noun, but it first defines the formal use of the word. The proper use of the word.
The word "retard" is not specific to mechanics. It is not specific to anything, unless you're using it as a noun in it's informal form (slang) which would be deemed offensive.
A verb is a descriptive word. It is used to describe something. You can retard anything that has progress.
Remember the movie "Anger management"? Do you remember the trailers for the movie?

"I'm going to need you to retard your anger".
This is not offensive, as it is being used in it's proper form, in a non-offensive context.
If I retard my water tap, I'm not referring to the mental state of my water tap. I'm slowing amount of water that is being allowed through the tap.
If my ISP retards my internet connection, it has nothing to do with the mental development of my internet connection, it means they are throttling my internet speed to a slower speed.
If you only dress your child in fire retardant clothing, you're dressing your child in clothing that has been treated to slow the spread of fire.
If I retard the growth of a bonsai tree through watering and pruning, it has nothing to do with the mental development of the tree. I'm slowing down the growth of the tree.
