Is it correct to say "Can I take some more time?"

Hi teachers~

I am wondering if it's correct to say "Can I take more time?" when you need more time to get something done.

How about Can I have(get) some more time?

Thanks in advance.

Can I have (some) more time, (please)? 'take' and 'get' are not grammatically wrong, but we almost always use 'have' in this context. CJ
