DL has been offering status challenges to elites, not outright matches, typically based on the FF programs of other USA legacy carriers. Currently PM seems to require 26,000 MQM in 90 days. DM is not ordinarily offered.
It's anyone's guess how DL would respond to a status match request from a LH HON. You might need to escalate to someone with decision-making authority.
