What is delayed Site Collection?
If you create a Site Collection, they have a template example team site, publishing site etc. Each site collection must be attached with any one of the site template. Using delayed Site Collection, you can create a Site Collection without pick up template. You can decide and pick your template after successful creation of Site Collection.
