They are all synonyms but there are very subtle differences. To defer means to give something else priority, so it will happen later because something else will happen first. To delay can mean that something else is causing the delay. Like, the event was delayed by the storm. To postpone simply means to do it later.

They are similar I think. Eg you can defer/postpone/delay your exam if you must. All mean to put off until a later date anyway
- 俄語
Defer=postpone,which means to arrange a new date for action later. Also there is a phrasal verb with defer: defer to smb. It means to let smb decide because you trust him. Delay is more about being slow. There are also common phrases: three-hours delay, sorry for delay, without delay (right now).
