Man, who made up "delegee"?  That's not a real English word.
Not even close.

If someone delegates something to you, like a task, you're a
"delegate."  Even if the verb "delegate" had standard "-er/-or"
and "-ee" cognates, the word would be "delegatee."  You
can't just drop the "-ate" suffix and expect it to retain its
meaning.
