function matchAndReplace(){
  var oldDomain = "@olddomain.com";
  var newDomain = "@newdomain.com";
  // retrieve all the user's contacts
  var contacts = ContactsApp.getContacts();
  Logger.log('num '+contacts.length);

  for (var i = 0; i < contacts.length; i++) {
    var emails = contacts[i].getEmails();
    Logger.log(emails.length+' emails');

    for (var e in emails) {
      var email = emails[e].getAddress();

      //emails[e].setLabel(ContactsApp.Field.WORK_EMAIL);
      Logger.log(email);

      if (email.indexOf(oldDomain) !== -1) {
        //remove
        emails[e].deleteEmailField(); <-- error
        Logger.log(email+' removed');
        //add
        var newEmail = email.split("@")[0]+newDomain;
        var newEmailField = contacts[i].addEmail(ContactsApp.Field.WORK_EMAIL, newEmail);

You may be running into a transient service issue, because there's nothing obviously wrong with your code. You could improve its efficiency and eliminate all the delete / add operations, though, and that might reduce the possibility of the error.

Try this:

/**
 * Find all contacts that have email addresses in the oldDomain,
 * and change them to be the same ID in the newDomain.
 *
 * @param {String} oldDomain  E.g. 'oldExample.com'
 * @param {String} newDomain  E.g. 'newExample.org'
 *
 * @returns {Number}          Count of updated contacts.
 */
function migrateDomain(oldDomain, newDomain){
  // Validate arguments
  if (arguments.length !== 2) throw new Error( 'Missing arguments.');

  oldDomain = '@' + oldDomain;
  newDomain = '@' + newDomain;

  // retrieve all the user's contacts that have email in oldDomain
  var contacts = ContactsApp.getContactsByEmailAddress(oldDomain);
  Logger.log('num '+contacts.length);

  for (var i = 0; i < contacts.length; i++) {
    var emails = contacts[i].getEmails();
    Logger.log(emails.length+' emails');

    for (var e=0; e<emails.length; e++) {
      var email = emails[e].getAddress();

      Logger.log(email);

      if (email.indexOf(oldDomain) !== -1) {
        // change
        var newEmail = email.split("@")[0]+newDomain;
        emails[e].setAddress(newEmail);
        Logger.log(' changed to '+newEmail);
      }
    }
  }
  return i;
}
