It would be most helpful to have all of the details as previously requested. Just as one example, depending on what OP did and did not have, as we now know that he was booked onto an EU departure from CDG, perhaps EC 261/2004 applies and there may be some compensation rather than DL funny money at stake,
The details matter and until OP supplies them, there will be endless speculation. Some of it may rev him up and most of it not useful.
An EU departure or an EU would make you eligible for EC 261 compensation. However, the flight at issue was the SEA-CDG on Delta, a non-eu carrier. The CDG departing flight was not delayed. Therefore EC 261 compensation would not apply. However, consumer protection laws triggered by Delta's breach of contract would apply in addition to breach of contract.
