That touches on a long-running very complicated debate around quantum mechanics, hidden variables, spooky action at a distance, no-communication, etc.
For various quantum effects that seem to be paradoxes by classical physics what is happening "under the covers"? Does the delayed choice experiment really send information backwards in time? Even if it appears to do so if we can't at least send information back in time with that mechanism isn't it just sophist philosophy at that point?
For my part I'm not smart enough to claim to have answers to anything but my intuition is there are no quantum paradoxes. Delayed choice does not send anything back in time. We don't experience quantum phenomena at the macro scale so our intuition and reasoning are ill-suited to thinking about it. That easily leads us to incorrect conclusions.
