I don't give a crap about D0 or A14 and I don't think pilots should give a crap about it. Rushing things doesn't help. I'll do my stuff in the same speed I always do it, if we're late I will not care about it.
However, it is the pilot's job to communicate these delays to the rest of the crew (FA) and to the passengers so they're not in the dark but personally I think I could work another 40 years and not once ever care about any D+0, A+14, or any other statistical metric.
All those metrics are management's problem. They want the meet their D+0 then don't overschedule the crews s that every turn is a minimum service time turn (18-19minute turn on the dash), they want to meet their A+14 they should make the block times something realistic with the given weather and delays forecast. The only one where the crew has any impact is the customer service metrics, pilot notification metrics, communication metrics, etc. Those are the only one that I'd actually work at improving.
