Example sentence: This is a bad idea, *to the extent* that it may fail.
The implication is progressive: if "fail" is 10%, then the idea is 10% bad.
(PS: I'm actually doing "en cuanto" from Spanish, but not likely to find help in the combo.)

hanggang sa punto na/maaari pa nga na
If I interpreted it correctly, "to the extent that" in the context could mean "to the degree/point that," or it can also be "this is a bad idea, it may even fail."
Example sentence:
Hindi ito magandang ideya, hanggang sa puntong maaari itong mabigo.
Hindi ito magandang ideya, maaari pa nga itong mabigo.

maaari/ pwede
It's usually difficult to find an exact version of a foreign word or phrase in Filipino because Filipino has less vocabulary compared to other languages like English. To obtain a Filipino translation of certain English words or phrases, I usually rephrase the source text. In this case, the source text could be rephrased as "This is a bad idea that it's highly probable that it may fail." Only here, we could find a satisfactory translation for the original text. "Highly probable" or simply "probable" can then be translated as "maaari" or "pwede" in Filipino.

"hanggang sa aabot" This should be the proper translation i think since it encompasses not only time element but also with regards to places and situations.
