Try something like this:

 WebElement parentEle = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[@class='atb-delivery-accordions']"));

 WebElement descriptionEle = parentEle.findElement(By.tagName("p"));

 //Get the text from the description element.
 String descriptionText = descriptionEle.getText();

It is better to use XPath or CSS selector instead of other locaters i.e., className, id, name or tagName. I also experienced the same i.e., when I tried with XPath I was able to locate the element properly and was able to click on it.

Try below:-

WebElement description = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[@class='atb-delivery-accordions']/p"));

String descriptionText=description.getText();
