I mean, if they delay it, Biden just stays president, right?

No. That’s not how the system works at all.
Short of a violent coup, the president’s term ends at noon on January 20, 2025. At that point, there is simply a vacancy in the presidency. It would then be filled according to the line of succession (VP, speaker of the House, etc)

So the President’s term is up, but not the VP? That logic doesn’t seem consistent.

I think this is a valid question. We should prepare for whatever is coming.
I don’t know though. Maybe sabotage the voting system enough to cast doubt, then tie the whole thing up in litigation? This still might not do it because I think the electors of a state can make a decision of behalf of the population if the voting doesn’t workout as planned.

Agreed, it also makes me wonder how long could the country go without a president.
