Parliamentary democracies work differently. Maximum terms of governments are set (usually 5 years but don’t know the limit in NZ) and the parliament usually dissolves itself some time prior to the expiry of the governmental term. However, as long as the governmental term hasn’t yet expired the date for elections for a new parliament can be pushed out repeatedly without causing a constitutional crisis. I’m pretty sure this is the case in NZ, so all that’s happened is a previously agreed upon date for dissolution has been extended. It’s very different to the US system where the exact term of the directly elected executive is set out in the constitution.
