The verb of "delivery" as in "software delivery"
"Software delivery" means installation and customization of a software product for a customer (usually a large company or organization). I cannot find this definition in the dictionary, but this is what it means according to my understanding.
So sometimes we say, "Bob is doing software delivery at Company x."
"Bob is delivering the software at Company x." If I say it in this way, it sounds that Bob is working for UPS/FedEx/DHL, etc.
