Minor means small or relatively small or unimportant. That could mean that the delay is not very small, but is still unimportant.
Slight means very small, not relatively small. A slight delay would generally mean small by any absolute standard.
Note that the differences are not definite - you could still use the two interchangeably in many situations.
