Answer 1

The Book confuses me. I still think assignment delay and leveling resources are the same. Here is the explanation from the book for the three concepts.
" Project offers two types of delays:
Leveling delay. This type of delay applies to tasks; it pushes out the start date for the task and all its resource assignments. It’s meant specifically for remov-ing resource overallocations. With the Leveling Delay field, you can remove
all leveling delays by choosing Resource➝Level➝Clear Leveling.
Assignment delay. This type of delay applies to a single assignment within a task. Suppose you have a security consultant coming in to help lock down your site. However, your employees have prep work to do before the consultant can get started.
You can assign everyone to the same “Try hacking into office” task but delay the consultant’s assignment by 5 days. "
After a couple of pages;
" Leveling Resources
In Project 2010, you can level the entire project, tasks you select, or a single resource. By leveling several tasks that are all vying for the resource, or alternatively, leveling only the most in-demand resources, you can focus on the problematic
portions of your project. Project automatically chooses popular settings in the Resource Level-ing dialog box. In most situations, you might as well run Resource Leveling with these settings. You can undo the leveling if you don’t like the results, but you
can get some clues from the initial results to help you determine the settings you need. Here’s how to level different parts of your project using the leveling settings cur-rently in place:
Level a resource. Select the resource you want to level, and then choose Resource➝Level➝Level Resource"
