Codeshare does mean agreements between companies , also in case of multi cities , but it doesnt mean that DL will share everything with KL , also dont forget that in involve financial agreement , so KL can purchase seats in DL plane for a fee and viceversa

The flights from ONT to GRU will be operated by Delta , with a stop in JFK or ATL

Under the price that was quote on the website , KLM will loose money after paying back Delta so thats why they cant accept it

Same thing for the GRU-AMS-CWL , operated by KLM , prices were too high for Delta and they refuse the quote

Expedia is a travel agency , therefore they can buy from whoever they want at whatever price they can get , depends on their contracts with airlines/booking systems

While the full round trip set up by Delta was £2853.
So then go with delta , cause most of segments you wanted to do are operated by delta

Even if you start from AMS this may come cheaper

I often found AMS-ATL-GRU for 600€with Delta

Again codeshare doesnt mean fullshare , it depends on agreements .

For instance , KLM and AirFrance shares a lot because these two airlines are owned by the same company, and prices are the often the same

Delta and KLM shares routes mainly between USA and Amsterdam , on these routes , codeshare prices are quite similar , but if you go further than amsterdam or atlanta with a codeshare its another story
