verbs - A word or phrase for "going past a deadline"


Participants are often being implored to finish their tasks by
November, as planned, and in no way ____ to December.




"carry on into", or "continue into"



But you have a few other problems with this sentence: "as planned" should not have a comma before, "in no way..." has a non-parallel structure, and the passive "are being implored" is confusing.



Perhaps something like "Management implores the participants to finish their tasks by the end of November as planned, and in no way to allow the work to continue into December."



"Implore" wouldn't normally be used in business communication. And if management is saying that the work shall not continue into December, perhaps that could be said more directly: "Management expects the participants to finish their tasks by the end of November as planned, and will in no way tolerate unfinished work carrying on into December.
