Of ‘push forward’ and ‘push back’

Can you explain the usage of ‘push forward’ and ‘push back’ when used together with a date.

For example, ‘The Marina Bay Sands Integrated Resort's opening date has been pushed back a second time - this time to April next year.’

In the above sentence, is ‘pushed back’ used correctly?

Instead of ‘push forward’, should it be ‘bring forward’?

Thanks.
