Taking into account Tara\'s remark below, which is justified dependent on context: \"route of delivery\" could also be extended to \"method of delivery\" or \"delivery method\" -> \"delivery time and method\" could be heading of section of contract or whatever document concerned

DanielaH, you are really over-generous with contextual indications ;-)

the time and manner of delivery


Explanation:
in my experience, "Weg" in this context does not necessarily mean "route" or "channel", but can be more broad in its meaning. (eg piece by piece, or all at once, etc.)

Time and mode (form) of supply


Explanation:
Belieferung is more an act of supplying (or furnishing). Delivery is more or less synonymous with "Zustellung", IMHO.
