How to push back the second segment of open-jaw flight

Ask: Is it possible to delay my second segment?

Background: I needed to secure a flight from Italy -> US east coast in mid-august and one-way flights were super expensive, I didn't mind purchasing a round-trip as I was okay visiting Europe again and so purchased the following:

(Priced and purchased on American Airlines)


Segment 1 - August:
Milan -> IAD Dulles (operated by BA)

Segment 2 - September:
Dulles IAD -> Madrid (operated by Iberia)
(Funny enough, I just received an email from Iberia that they had to cancel my original flight and rebooked me on the following day.)

I need to keep segment 1 in place and can't touch it, but I'm open to doing anything with segment 2.
  1. Is it possible to change the destination? Could I change it from Madrid to somewhere else in Europe or anywhere that American flies to?
  2. If I can't change the Madrid destination, I'd like to push the date as far back as possible, March/April/May of 2025
  3. Is there a chance of just getting the second segment as a credit somehow? I think this is unlikely
Thanks!
