The CLOCK_DELAY_GROUP property identifies related clocks that have the same MMCM, PLL, GT source, or common driver that should be balanced during placement and routing to reduce clock skew on timing paths between the clocks.
Tip: Clock matching (via the CLOCK_DELAY_GROUP property) is intended for use
with clocks from the same MMCM, PLL, or GT source.

set_property CLOCK_DELAY_GROUP <name> [get_nets <clk_nets>] set_property CLOCK_DELAY_GROUP <name> [get_nets -of_objects [get_pins <clock_buffer>/O]Where
<name>is the unique name to associate with the specified clock nets and<clk_nets>is a list of clock nets directly connected to the output of global clock buffers, that are driven by a common cell, such as an MMCM for example.XDC Syntax Example:
# Define a clock group to reduce skew between the nets. set_property CLOCK_DELAY_GROUP grp12 [get_nets {clk1_net clk2_net}]
