When I look at my action list, I now see something concrete and specific that I can do at an appropriate time and place to keep that project moving forward.

Well, that works, but I think the issue here is you are creating two tasks for the same task
1. the original task, which you "completed" by delegating it
2. the task to follow up with the person you delegated it to
Which one could argue
A. That seems like a lot of busy work
B. It kinda goes against the GTD principal of handling a task only once
