I believe the answer is:

gossamer

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'very delicate' is the definition.
'gossamer' can be an answer for 'delicate' (similar in meaning). I am not certain of the 'very' bit.

'fast mover covering return of service' is the wordplay.
'fast mover' becomes 'goer' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'covering' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'return of' says the letters should be written backwards.
'service' becomes 'mass' (kind of church service).
'mass' reversed gives 'ssam'.
'goer' enclosing 'ssam' is 'GOSSAMER'.

'that's' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for gossamer that I've seen before include "fine material" , "Fine spider's silk" , "very flimsy stuff" , "Very thin material" , "Spider silk" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
