In the first one you are trying to persuade someone to postpone the demolition.
In the second one you are trying to persuade someone that that the demolition is going to be postponed.
In the third one you are trying to persuade someone that the demolition already has been postponed.
For the second and third ones, "I think" would be more natural.
The third one should be "I think that the demolition has been postponed."
