Yes - the ability to postpone/reschedule an instance of a recurring task has been much requested.
Until that gets implemented, the approach I use is to create a sub-task of the recurring task which inherits the dates of the recurring task and which will appear in the To Do list based on this. You can then change the date of the sub-task as many times as you wish. When you complete the sub-task, it will automatically complete the parent recurring task and reset the child task to undone (good) [1] but it will set the date of the sub-task to the new date for the parent task plus x days (where x is the number of days that you delayed completing the sub-task) (not so good). You then need to remember to click the 'Inherit Parent Dates' on the sub-task to reset its dates back to those of the parent task. [1] You will need to fiddle with the Recurrence Advanced settings to get this behaviour.
