So, "a long period of time "
"In an extended period of time" are basically the same thing.
So "in an extended period of time" means that more time was added to the original time to start with.
And "in a long period of time" means that there is a big time estimate. For an example, 4 hours could be considered a long period of time because of the amount of time.

@Buddy2418 how about 'for ~' versus 'in ~'?

Sure! So "for" is a word that helps direct the subject to another subject. For an example: "The cake is for my friend" In this sentence, the word "for" is directing the subject "cake" to the friend.

The word "in" usually means that the subject or object is in something else. It's hard to explain, but here are some examples:
"The potatoes are in the pot pie" this sentence shows that the potatoes are "inside" the pie. That is one way "in" is used.
"Are you in or are you out of the game?" In this sentence, in is being used as a placement. So when someone is "in the game" it means that they are playing or participating in the game. Literally "inside the game"

Oh I see! I'm sorry!
So "in" and "for", don't let those throw you off! In this case, "in a long period of time" you are inside a period of time, that is considered long or the time amount is large.
And "for a long period of time" it's still describing the large amount of time, but you are not in the time constraint if you translate it literally.
