If a city that utilizes video to monitor traffic signals & issues citations by mail for running the red light has 15 days from the date of the violation to deliver the citation to the defendant, does "delivered" mean mailing same by the 15th day or actual delivery of the citation to the defendant by the 15th day?

It depends on the city's code of ordinances. Typically, in these automated traffic signal enforcement ordinances, the city has a certain period of time to mail the notice, which I am guessing is the case here. The ordninance may specify the deadline or include details as to when the notice is deemed "delivered."
A good source for reviewing city ordinances is www.municode.com. Click on "online library" and go from there. Your city is not guaranteed to be included, but it is the largest collection of city ordinances nationally.

Definitions like what you ask are often found at the start of the section of the statutes it affects.
As a casual observation, a lot of things get mailed that never get delivered. I suspect that it requires receipt of the notice of violation.
