deadline day
Last submission moment
Deadline day is the final day to complete something before a cutoff takes effect.
In sports, it typically refers to the last day teams can make trades or sign players before the transfer window closes: The team made three moves on deadline day.
The term carries urgency—whatever hasn't happened by midnight won't happen at all.
