If you want the midi message to go out at, say, 3.953 beats (so that it will sound at 4.0 beats with the 47 ms delay), then the task needs to wake up before 3.953.
If "synchronized with the clock" means that the task wakes up at 4.0 beats, to sound at 4 beats, that's not possible. You can't send a midi message earlier than now.
I think you'd have to convert the ms delay into beats and use it as a negative phase in Quant, e.g.,
task.play(clock: c, quant: [-1, -0.047 * c.tempo])
The conversion is unavoidable, I think. Scheduling is always in beats.
