When you do not include the coordinates in the data given to
InterpolatingPolynomial, the function assumes the coordinates are
1, 2, ....

The easy way to get what you want is to include the values of delta:

Subscript[T, \[Mu]] = Table[{\[Delta], \[Mu]}, {\[Delta], 0, 0.5,
0.05}];

Another recommendation is to *not* simplify the output of
InterpolatingPolynomial.  The unsimplified output is given in a form
that provides the most accurate numerical values.
