Why does owner lose invitation when delegate opens it?

[Guest]

What permission should a delegate have when the delegate only needs to
create, read and edit calendar entries?

If delegate opens an invitation on behalf of the owner, why is that
invitation then removed from the owners inbox?

What permission should a delegate have when the delegate only needs to

create, read and edit calendar entries?

Author permission on the Calendar folder, not delegate access.

If delegate opens an invitation on behalf of the owner, why is that
invitation then removed from the owners inbox?

To prevent problems that can occur when both the delegate and owner act on the same invitation.
