Why is my final exam marked as "late"

I'm not sure why this happened but we were given two hours to complete an exam and I finished after twenty minutes yet my output was still marked as late. I took the exam at the designated day and at the start of the designated time. Any idea why this happened?

@Malum This may be a better question for your instructor as they would know what they put as the time settings. 

I can tell you that if did not have the exam submitted by the due date and time, regardless of it being a 2 hour test, it is marked late.  For example, I create an exam due 5/26 @ 3pm, and you have your 2 hours to take it.  You as the student would need to start the exam at 1pm to really get the full 2 hours without it being marked late.  It sounds like maybe you started the exam at the due date (the time you are referring to as the designated time). 

Your instructor may have done this on purpose or told you that is when you need to do it, but that is why Canvas saw it as late.

-Hope this helps!
