The reason Michael is detained 21 days, and Daniel fasts 21 days is this:
there is a 21 day day hiatus in the 70 week prophecy.
21 days is obviously not really 21 days though.
A day to a year makes it 21 years.
But then we have the factor of 5 from the Man In Linen. He holds up his hands, one after the other, denoting the number 5, as in 5 digits.
5 X 21 = 105.
105 prophetic years of 360 days translates to 103 years and 180 days in the solar calendar.
Now lets go back to Daniel.
The Abomination of Desolation was started by Antiochus in 167AD at the end of that year. The exact dates are in the Book Of Maccabees. 103 and half years later in the summer of 63BC Pompey retook Jerusalem.
So that is what the 21 really means.
(and I am genuinely sorry for being facetious)
