No just make sure they are aware that you will be unable to complete before you leave the office.

Get your rep involved too! :hmmmm

So long as you follow the correct procedure it most certainly is not wilful delay. Just let them know you will not be able to complete before you go out, also let them know that you do not wish to perform overtime if that is the case, it is then his problem.
