On the routing, is ATL even an option for the outbound to VCE? That may only be via JFK. On the daytime return, there’s no real reason to prefer the longer flight BCN-ATL than BCN-JFK, and JFK might be faster overall depending on layover. And BCN-CDG-RDU isn’t a bad idea, although if that means 763 instead of A330 (I haven checked equipment), I’d be inclined to prefer the 330 routing for the better seat.
Routing information comes from Delta's website. Options RDU-VCE are through JFK, ATL, CDG. Return BCN-RDU are the same.

My preference is to go through JFK both ways. I'll know in a week or two what the travel agent can do.
