extendable

Able to expand

Extendable describes something that can be lengthened, expanded, or prolonged: an extendable ladder, an extendable lease, an extendable deadline.

The word applies to physical objects that stretch or unfold, and to abstractions like time periods or agreements that can be renewed or continued.

Also spelled extensible, with extensible more common in technical contexts.
