The best way to say "buy time" differently is "get more time". "Buy time" refers to delaying an event so you have more time to prepare for it. Here are some examples using "buy time" and "get more time": Ex: To buy time before seeing her parents, she said she was busy. Ex: He said he was stuck in traffic to get more time before meeting with his boss.
