If you want to fly two days later, you might try just calling BA to make the change. They might not notice the one year problem, and, in my experience, once they agree to a ticketing change, they'll honor it, even if they subsequently discover that the change violates a rule.
BA should notice that. That should not be allowed through the system. Even if they don't, CX will. OP may then end up stranded in HKG trying to resolve the case with BA.
