--explanation--

Instead of saying If we update the software, it might delay other projects., James shortens it to If we do. The word do is often used to avoid repeating the verb or a complete phrase used in from the previous sentence. For example:

She wants to join the meeting, and if she does, she'll need the link. - Instead of saying if she joins the meeting, you can use does to replace it and this way you can avoid the repetition.

To delay means to make something happen later than planned. For example:

The flight was delayed due to bad weather. - This means the flight was postponed and did not leave on time.
