To be in a clutch situation is to be in a difficult setting with high risk and high reward. Someone delivering in a clutch situation handles the obstacles well and comes out ahead. You can picture someone tackling a tricky problem and "delivering" the reward to his supervisor. "Clutch" is a younger, trendier term; I've only ever heard it used in League of Legends commentary to describe a risky maneuver that has a high reward. "That was a clutch play!", for example.
