La Comisión tendrá el derecho de diferir las fechas de entrega de las respuestas a las preguntas o comentarios.
Does "diferir" simply mean to "postpone"? Or does it mean "stagger"?
If it means to postpone, what is a natural translation of "diferir las fechas de entrega de las respuestas".
Could it be something like: "push forward the dates on which replies are delivered"?
Thanks!
