To lengthen can apply to physical objects, such as stretching a piece of fabric or elongating a structure. It can also be used metaphorically to describe the extension of time, such as when a deadline is pushed back or a project's duration is expanded. In this sense, lengthening implies an enlargement or extension that surpasses the original time frame or expectation.
