Let's solve the expression:

\[
-\frac{9}{14} - \left(-\frac{9}{14}\right)
\]

When subtracting a negative fraction, it is equivalent to adding the positive fraction. Therefore:

\[
-\frac{9}{14} - \left(-\frac{9}{14}\right) = -\frac{9}{14} + \frac{9}{14}
\]

Since both fractions have the same denominator and opposite numerators, their sum is zero:

\[
-\frac{9}{14} + \frac{9}{14} = 0
\]

So, the answer is \( \boxed{0} \).
