I don't remember what the original idea was, but nowadays postpone and delay behave exactly identically, except for that postpone_to uses the postpone mechanism and is leaving the delay alone. So you can combine postpone_to and delay, avoiding delay being ineffective near postpone_to boundaries (with postpone_to=08:00 and delay=10, alert conditions at 07:59 will not generate an alarm until 08:09, if postpone_to had been implemented using the delay mechanism, the alarm were raised at 08:00). Actually, postpone should probably never be used directly and rather seen as implementation detail of postpone_to, use delay for delaying a given number of minutes, postpone_to for delaying to a given time of day.
