Let's say you have a period of time that you don't want to be lengthened or shortened at all. From the time that has been allotted you say that the current set duration cannot be extended to ensure that the duration cannot be lengthened. You also say that it cannot be limited to mean that it cannot be shortened. Is this correct? Since to extend is to lengthen and to limit is to reduce, would this make the duration immovable?
@Zach M,
No. The wording is unnecessarily confusing. Don't use the word 'limited' to mean 'not lengthened and not shortened', because 'limited' shades more on the 'shortened' side of things.
Use the term 'altered' or 'changed', both of which don't specifically imply anything about increasing or decreasing length.
I. e.
You cannot change the length of time.
You could say the length of time allotted is fixed.
Stumble It!
