Is there a setting that would keep an incomplete task, even though it is past the planned or projected end date, on the assignees timesheet until they complete it?

There are timesheet preferences on the backend that allow you to choose was prepopulates on a timesheet.

I have checked those and none of those seem to fit my question. If the time frame was "if they are not closed" then it might.

These are the only options for timesheets unfortunately.

You will likely want to investigate the scenario of the task itself to troubleshoot the projected date being in the past to see if it can help solve for something. If task is not marked complete then the projected completion date updates based on certain criteria.

When the assignee updates the Commit Date:

Projected Completion Date = Commit Date
When the task does not have an updated Commit Date and the task has a forced constraint (Must Finish On) for the Planned Completion Date that is in the future:

Projected Completion Date = Constraint Date
When a task does not have an updated Commit Date, a forced constraint date in the future, or it has a Constraint Date in the past:

Projected Completion Date = system calculation for the Completion Date based on the current progress and the work left to be done

Also something to consider is adjusting your timeframe for populating the data. Work that is within X of the timesheet's work range defines the number of weeks before and after the date range of the timesheet that contains dates of tasks and issues assigned to the user. You can extend this range to 4 weeks.

Final consideration: The user can "pin" the item to their timesheet and it will stay until they unpin it.
