What is Leveling Delay?

[Lilliabeth]

After leveling a project, while looking at Leveling Gantt view, only very few if any tasks show a value in the leveling delay field even though there was delay. I thought that maybe the field was only to allow me to set a delay in edays, but I see one task shows a value in that field post having Project level for me. So what is Leveling Delay?

The Leveling Delay field contains the amount of time that a task or assignment is to be delayed from its early start date as a result of resource leveling.

I never use Project levelling but do it manually so I can't help you out any more than this.
