I believe the delay is by default set on the interface by the router based on the type of link it is. I'm sure there's charts on CCO somewhere. You can change this info on the interface with the delay command, which is the recommended way of changing a metric if you are forced to do so. The router dosen't pass the delay info of a link to other routers as a raw figure, it calculates the BW and delay, then multiplies it by 256 and sends that calculation to a neighbor, which is the metric.
