I couldn't observe a pattern though on under what circumstances will they take it live or tape-delayed... Often times when they take Newsnight live, it doesn't seem like there's a big story on that night. The decision feels random to me...
I can't say I have observed any examples of Newsnight being tape delayed. The 10 does often overrun its scheduled time by a minute and depending what is on BBC 2 will depend if Newsnight starts at 10.30 or a few minuted later, which accounts for the programme starting on the News Channel after the 10 has finished.
