I'm translating a document into English from a business meeting.

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

I'll give some more background to focus my question a bit: this is a company project, and the management has set deadlines that all of the "participants" are supposed to meet. There may be all kinds of reasons that might prevent them from finishing by those deadlines, but the management is emphasizing that ??? into December would be catastrophic, and is imploring them to do whatever they can not to get to that situation.

I need a word or phrase to replace the ??? in the above.

I need a word or phrase to replace "going past a deadline".

Can anyone replace the ??? in this sentence?

Thanks! Ilan
