"That man was in Delhi the day before yesterday."
Translation:परसों वह आदमी दिल्ली में था।

There are two positions परसों can be in for this sentence. Either परसों वह आदमी दिल्ली में था। or वह आदमी परसों दिल्ली में था।. However, 'वह आदमी दिल्ली में था परसों' is wrong because Hindi places verbs at the end.
However, this is only for written Hindi. In spoken Hindi, a lot more word orders are permitted and may give different shades of meaning.

'वह आदमी' (that man) is one unit. You cannot break it by inserting परसों in between.
Can be written in any way--- 1. Vah (aadmi) dilli me parso tha 2. Parso vah (aadmi) dilli me tha 3. Dilli me vah (aadmi) parso tha 4. Tha dilli me voh parso
All of them are correct
The word 'परसों' can be placed either in the beginning or in the end. An example of this in English is 'yesterday she was at the shops' and 'She was at the shops yesterday.' It does not matter where the word yesterday is places the sentence makes sense anyway.
