My understanding is that all terms and deadlines (besides A50 final date) are terms for UK parliament set by Gov. Withdrawal is totally non binding and EU have stated several times that they would understand and facilitate u turn.
Nothing is done that can't be undone. The only thing that would be lost is remaining Tory confidence. It would fuck them for a generation.

A cancellation in good faith I'm sure. One to pause while we get our stuff together would be a harder sell.
The article 50 date is the only really important one - all the others are just count backs from then. Like any project, if you shift them too far, then you won't hit the final date; and it looks like we're close to having used up any contingent time available.
The pertinent point is that our govt couldn't just pause for a little while without that being okayed by the EU, and I'm sure it'd be by no means 100% certain that they'd give the UK that breathing space.

There is noting except the A50 deadline. Current talk of deadlines for moving on to stage 2 are instrumental, not legal.

This is likely, but it's not written anywhere. That is why this exists: https://www.crowdjustice.com/case/strengthening/
But it's likely totally out of their hands now (possibly even whether cancellation would be accepted).
They could vote to slow down, then they could go and ask the EU if they wouldn't mind slowing down - who would say what exactly?
