How can a search warrant be served with the wrong name on it and with no signature from a judge?
VOB
By changing the constitution and eliminating the provision " The right to life, liberty and property and pursuit to happiness, otherwise, you can't. --- In other words, it can't. That's a faulty warrant and has no legal merit of effect. Trying to use such a warrant to gain entry may be interpreted by a court as any of a number of criminal offenses, not limited to trespass, fraud, breaking and entry, kidnapping (if you're taken into "custody"), etc. Make your lawyer's day -- show the faulty warrant to them.

Unclear what the questioner is asking. . . that the warrant was supposed to be served at a specific time, on a specific date?

If the question is referring to a 'drop-dead' date by which the warrant must be served or becomes invalid. . . then the answer depends on the type of warrant it is, and what it was issued for.
