Placing *pronto* before the noun phrase sounds unnatural; it should modify the whole sentence and go at the end.

Learners often forget the adjective agreement; *importante* stays the same, but the noun order can be confusing. Better to keep *fecha* before *importante*.

Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking workplaces the word *plazo* or *fecha límite* is preferred over *fecha de entrega* when talking about deadlines. The phrase is informal; for a formal email you might say, “¿Podría indicarme si tiene alguna fecha límite importante en el futuro próximo?”. Also, note that in some Latin American countries ‘entrega’ can refer to a physical shipment, while in Spain it more often means the submission of a document.
