Please Help - "Baggy" Linen




I have a 40" x 21" painting that is looking a bit baggy. I stretched and primed the linen myself and at the onset it was quite taught. Now, a month later it is not.

I did not notice until I took it off the easel this morning to frame. I have to deliver this picture tomorrow. Is there a quick fix? It is not so slack that it sags from the front but I am afraid it will. I kept the A/C ice cold in the studio for fear of humidity (it is already quite humid in FL!) What did I do wrong?
