100% haste = 1.0 x 20 = 20 delay less (20 adjusted delay)
50% haste = 0.50 x 20 = 10 delay less (30 adjusted delay)
31% haste = 0.31 x 20 = 6.2 delay less (33.8 adjusted delay)
0% haste = 0.00 x 20 = 0 delay less (40 adjusted delay)

Haste is measured in Rate of Attack Increase, NOT Delay Decrease.

How does that work?
Let's assume your RoA is 10 swings per minute. You equip an item that says "Haste" and now you have 12 swings per minute.
10/12 = 1.2 = 20% hasted.

10 Swings per Minute means you swing once every 6 seconds, so your weapon has a 60 delay. Now you swing 12 times per minute, making your weapon a 50 delay.

If we use "your" formula, your "new" delay should be:
0.2 x 30 = 6 delay less = 54.

Like I said, your numbers don't add up.
Skipping school was a bad idea.
