I have read it's a good idea to have a few extra days on your visa in case one's flight is delay into the next day. If the application asks for specific dates should I put the dates written on my ticket or can I extend my departure date to be safe? If my ticket departure date is different then my application departure date will this cause a problem? Thank you

This covers airline delays etc. If you have already gone through passport control when your plane is delayed, I guess you can stay in the terminal indefinitely (anyone see "The Terminal?") I can't say whether this is routinely done by other consulates. Also, while a tourist visa can be granted for up to 30 days, it is only good for the dates actually printed on the visa, the term of which is usually much shorter.
