Hi, #1. 'Deferred' is a better expression than 'extended'. It's the time you are open that is 'extended' (it means 'made longer').

I always see and hear reference being made about "extended business hours", especially now in prime Christmas shopping season. I usually see "deferred" used in reference to payment, taxes or dealings with financial consideration. For me, I would just say " starting Dec 1st, our business hours will be extended to / till 10:00pm ".
