Fundamentally, the main difference is that OVN does one thing: It does
network virtualization. OpenDaylight _MAY_ do network virtualization,
among other things, and it likely does network virtualization in many
different ways. Like Ben said:

"Open Daylight is a platform for managing networks that can do
anything you want."
