for an extension of the deadline
I hadn't finished my report, so I asked the teacher for an extension of the deadline.
... for extending the deadline.
Hi,
Does the second of the above sound as right and mean about the same as the first? Thanks.

Neither is good in my opinion. A deadline crosses the arrow of time not runs parallel with it, so extend is a bad choice. You need a word such as alter, change or move .
