You will need to do (agenda "WAITING|VERIFY" ...) for items that are
scheduled. They will be displayed only if you have adjusted value for
`org-scheduled-delay-days`.

I think you can adjust the format of this with some
variable. `org-agenda-prefix-format` has a specifier "%s" for scheduling
information. There must be a variable/function for formatting scheduling
information. I couldn't quickly find it though.

This should be available with the default prefix format for agenda type
entries in your custom agenda.
