It is quite redundant to put the continent P30 at all levels of geographical entities. In cases of multi-continent countries or cities, it makes complete sense to tag P30, but in places where there is confirmed single-value continent, it makes no sense. In these cases, P30 can be retrieved going to higher levels. In this particular case of Delhi -> country (P17) India has continent P30.
what if in one time the city was in division A in one continent, and in other time the same city was in division B in the other continent? (My city is the example)

Because the existing Wikidata reconciliation service has had severe performance issues recently, I have created a new one which should be faster and more robust. You can add it to OpenRefine in the reconciliation dialog with the following URL: https://wikidata.reconci.link/en/api (or by replacing en by any other language code).
If you have any issues with this new service, let me know.
