^ Why Kaneki didn't kill Hajime sooner oir at all?

He most likely thought he could get some free info on the Ouggai from him. (after all, Ouggai was a closed secret of CCG, this would have been the first lead of info on them he could ever get, straight from the horse's mouth.)

That the freak had a tracker implanted in the tongue never crossed his mind...because...who does that!? (Name one single person who would do something surgical like that and how fast the conclusion of "his tongue is bugged" would cross your mind in this situation...Taking longer than expected? Well, this was completely new territory then.)

Why Kaneki didn't do anything in those months?

Because Kaneki is a schemer, not a active player.

He got a goal ("Take out the head of CCG without excessive bloodshed") and in those months, he went through a massive period of "info-gathering" on the enemy and the playing field. Every single possibility, "what-if", scenario, plan and etc...was being processed in search and elimination to find the most optimal plan that would ensure his victory and success without a single wasted piece on the board by making faulty moves that would lead to nothing.

The starvation forced his hand though and as a result, he made a faulty move.

Stress Kaneki with urgency and mistakes are made, simple as that.

Also, he was a former collegue student, not some general or CEO or in the military or anyone else of high position. Him lacking leadership skills shouldn't come as a surprise since assume that if anyone of us had all of a sudden been put on a piedestal like he was, would anyone of us fair any better without the knowledge we have gained about the situation from reading the manga as observers? To have experienced things solely from kaneki's perspective?

That is the mistake you are making. You work from the assumption as a reader, not the character, and redaers got more info  than the characters does about the situation. It is easy to state "Why didn't he-?!" when we already know things he doesn't.

Take it solely from his perspective and your argument drops really fast... Do that first.
