Using a single verb, I want to express the act of making something negligible, i.e. very small or insignificant. "Neglate" doesn't seem to be english 🙂
Example sentence:
About the delay between two events in time. It should be possible to almost <word here> this delay.
Second example, as some people didn't get what I intended.
About cutting the cost of something. It should be possible to <word here> the cost. And no, not minimize, it is really about cutting it all the way down to almost nothing, to something that is negligible.

The word you are looking for is annihilate- it comes from the Latin nihil meaning nothing- to make nothing
