contents Time-delayed oscillator networks underlie diverse biological and physical systems, yet standard first-order phase reductions fail to capture their high-dimensional collective dynamics. In this Letter, we develop a universal second-order predictive reduction for time-delayed Kuramoto-Daido networks that maps delayed one-dimensional phase dynamics to a delay-free network of two-dimensional rotators. Delay induces effective inertia and triadic interactions, yielding accurate predictions of nontrivial attractors and their collective-state statistics, including splay, cyclops, and chimera states. The reduction reveals a division of roles: inertia organizes higher-dimensional dynamics, whereas triadic terms are crucial for lower-dimensional patterns such as chimeras. Applicable to arbitrary topology, higher harmonics, and intrinsic-frequency heterogeneity, it provides a compact, parameter-explicit reduced model. The same framework also extends to time-delayed amplitude-phase oscillator networks, including swarmalators, yielding analogous reduced equations with emergent inertia and triadic higher-order couplings. This unified and readily deployable description enables systematic prediction and analysis of delay-controlled collective dynamics across oscillator networks.
