Meaning of "I wouldn't have been willing to have done it by tomorrow"

If you had assigned me more work, I wouldn't have been willing to have done it by tomorrow.

Hi, I wonder whether the bold part implies the future unreal event and about the exact meaning of this sentence.

Is it sure that the bold part does not implies the past event?

It is not a particularly good sentence. If you had assigned me more work, I wouldn't have been willing to have it done by tomorrow. It means that you were not willing to finish that hypothetical extra work they assigned you today.
