proceed with
Hello.
Could I ask the meaning of "proceed with something?"
The Oxford dictionary says one of its meanings is "begin a course of action," and supplies this sentence for its example:
"We were able to, of course, proceed with our work by the end of the day."
The question is, according to the dictionary, it would mean "We were able to BEGIN our work by the end of the day."
However, for me, it seems to say "We were able to END our work by the end of the day," because when we metion due date, usually it's about the end point not the starting one.
"We were able to, of course, proceed with our work by the end of the day."
About which does it talk, beginning or ending?

"About which does it talk, beginning or ending? It is the beginning or continuation of the work, which will presumably continue next day.
