"I have to endure a delay of the reply from my course leader" sounds weird.
"I have to wait a while for a reply from my course leader." sounds more natural.
If you want to use "endure" to emphasise that it was almost a struggle to do, then you can say,
"I have to endure a delayed reply from my course leader."
This is correct, but it's unnatural.
>Firstly, endure means to handle an impact/ to handle a situation effectively or to suffer through it patiently.
For example:
- The pain while working out is too much for me to endure. (I can't handle the pain when exercising.)
- Regardless of what we all thought, John endured the beating from his mother. (We all thought that John wasn't going to be able to handle his mother's beating, but he suffered through it patiently/ he handled it well.)
-It takes a lot of strength to endure the Summer heat. (It's really hot in summer, and it takes a lot of strength to deal with it/ handle it)

Your sentence is okay, but does not sound very natural.
I have to endure a delay until my course leader replies
I don't think I can endure another evening where Tony gets drunk and starts to complain about everything that William does
He's got to the point where he can endure the type of intense cold that would kill most people.
I know that his goal is to build something that will endure, but I don't know if I can endure looking at that ugly building every single day.
