I wish to say that when comparing to another cash flows, my cash flow provides less money at first but more money later. Shall I say that my cash flow is more delayed than the other ? more deferred than the other ? more postponed than the other ? or is there something else?
Thanks a lot .

@barokas,
"Deferred" is probably better.

You could also talk about a delay in receipt of/ bringing forward certain amounts. It depends on what exactly you want to say.

My personal feeling is that the 'cash flow' isn't delayed, deferred or postponed. The cash flow is less than the other at first but then it becomes greater [relative to the other or just greater in and of itself.

Try saying exactly what you want to say. That'll give everyone a better indication.
