I have a question.
What's the difference between
delay , extend, reschedule and postpone.
Is there different senses of extended time between each words?
It's In-house communication.
Hope you help my learning :))

Delay is when you or something (eg. A parcel) is late due to unexpected circumstances
E.g - The doctors appointment was delayed by 30 minutes because the patient arrived late.
Extend is when the time frame of the event is lengthened
E.g - Lockdown was extended by another 3 months due to cases increasing.
Reschedule is when you change the date of an event to another time
E.g - The birthday party was rescheduled to be on the 3rd of February instead, as the child had caught a cold.
Postpone can be used interchangeably with delay, but is usually used for when the delay is a longer period of time.
E.g - I postponed my doctors appointment as I would be busy that day.
