Yes - delivered is actually two parts - Financial completing and physical 
transportation. That argument has been used for Beta tests of new equipment. It 
might be a complete assembly that someone has agreed to be a beta test site - 
these are NOT production units and user is a part, a final part, or design 
process. The beta unit is sometimes sold AFTER the completion of the beta test 
but never before. Physical delivery has occurred but monetary delivery has not. 
The unit has not been full delivered. Beta customers are often compensated 
somewhat in the purchase price for their knowingly accepting, testing and 
report errors and glitches that are likely to occur in this sort of test. Beta 
test equipment is still under the control of the developing company - as is 
development equipment.

It isn't really, for the reason you cite in your first sentence. The 
text says the device can be sold on the understanding that it will 
comply when delivered. This surely is intended to cover custom-made 
equipment where payment or part-payment is agreed to be made before 
delivery.
