1) We have been given a time span by which we have to submit claims with the payer.


2) We have been given a time span by the end of which we have to submit claims with the payer.

Please check my sentences. Is it correct to use "By" the way I did in the first sentence?

A time span is a length of time. You are talking about a fixed period in time, from one date to another.

A time span is a length of time. You are talking about a fixed period in time, from one date to another.

So we can't use "By" with it. Am I correct?

Can we say "We have been given a time span by the end of which we have to submit claims with the payer"?

"By" is used correctly. "Span" is a duration, not a point in time, so the sentence doesn't work.
