Extremely remote date for renewal of contract? (13)

I believe the answer is:

reappointment

'renewal of contract?' is the definition.
(being re-appointed to the same job)

'extremely remote date' is the wordplay.
'extremely' says to hollow out the word (remove centre letters).
'date' becomes 'appointment' (both can mean a scheduled meeting).
'remote' with its centre taken out is 're'.
're'+'appointment'='REAPPOINTMENT'

'for' is the link.

(Another definition for reappointment that I've seen is " Return to old job".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
