Latest time for finishing something (8)

I believe the answer is:

deadline

(Other definitions for deadline that I've seen before include "Time for finishing" , "Target time" , "Latest time for completion" , "Time by which journalist must file copy" , "problem for the editor?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
