download the binary jar package download-commands plugin from here (Binaries of more plugins are listed [here] (http://gerritcodereview-plugins.storage.googleapis.com/index.html)

If you still do not see these commands in the UI - Clean the cache and it will solve it
I managed to install delete-project plugin after following this thread:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/repo-discuss/hbBc2TUhl7s
and then install according to:
https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/Documentation/cmd-plugin-install.html
P.S. I build the jar following the below steps:
git clone --recursive https://gerrit.googlesource.com/gerrit
cd gerrit
git clone --recursive https://gerrit.googlesource.com/plugins/delete-project
buck build delete-project:delete-project
You should then find the delete-project.jar in buck-out/gen/delete-project/delete-project.jar
Download the delete-project.jar from the build that matches your Gerrit version on https://gerrit-ci.gerritforge.com
Copy it to gerrit/plugins directory.
Restart Gerrit.
