Native English speakers, could you please help me with these issues?

Question

Are these sentences correct:

a) "I had to justify the HANDOVER of my assignment PAST THE DEADLINE."

(Note: By this, I mean to justify why I hadn't handed the assignment earlier."

b) "Despite being past the deadline, the professor agreed that I CONTINUED my work."

The word "submission" would be better than handover.

"agreed to give me an extension" would also sound better.
