For clarity, a small review of terms:
Delivery date means the date on which a particular manuscript is due to arrive on the editor's desk.
Publication date is the date on which a book is scheduled to be published.
These two things are not the same. Publishers (wisely) tend not to set publication dates in stone until the manuscript has been delivered. A good rule of thumb is to figure that a particular title will be published nine months to a year after delivery.
