The minimation is goal because:
1. The longer clock delay, the higher possibility of more buffer cells --> the higher of power consumption, and the area.
2. The longer clock path delay, there are more negative effect from crosstalk and on-chip-variation ( OCV ) factors.
Please find then Slack calculation formluar for setup and hold with including launch and capture clock delays.
You then can find out how was the effection of clock delay.
