Outlook Desktop
For replying to emails, an extra step is required as the setting to delay delivery of emails is not available from this menu.
Click 'Pop out' to open the reply menu in a new window.
From here, delaying delivery is identical for both replying to an email and creating a new email.
Click on the button on the ribbon titled 'Options', and then click 'Delay Delivery'

To delay delivery of your reply/email, ensure the box labeled 'Do not deliver before' is checked. Set your desired date and time to send the email in the future. The email will then send as soon as possible after the time set.
Note: if you go off network and the time passes, the email will send as soon as you come back online, provided that outlook is open.
