发言 is more informal, like a short speech or comment made during a conference, where lots of people are making similar speeches. 演讲 is more formal, and I think 书面 is more of a filler word that makes it sound more formal.

I think it's point less to try understand those bureaucratic "new words".

In a country where there is a big government it is pointless to learn such words? Then what is of point to you?@WeishanYang

"书面演讲" means oration or formal ("书面") speech ("演讲"). "书面" can mean written, but it should be interpreted as formal tone or the style of language used in written communication in this context.

"带稿发言" means manuscript ("带稿") speech ("发言"). It is drafted, but it doesn't suggest the style of language the speech is in.

For example, [Opening Remarks by Chair Jerome H. Powell](https://www.federalreserve.gov/newsevents/speech/powell20211108a.htm) can be considered a formal speech while [Inaugural Address by President Joseph R. Biden, Jr.](https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/speeches-remarks/2021/01/20/inaugural-address-by-president-joseph-r-biden-jr/) is a manuscript speech.
