Meaning of 「にならない」
## Is your translation correct?

Yes, your translation "Points will not be deducted if there is a delay in
submission" is a correct one.

## 「〜にならない」とは？

For a more literal translation to address your question about the meaning of
にならない

  * 提出に遅れた場合は

> In the event (case) of a late submission

  * （結果が）減点にならない

> (the outcome) will not be a point deduction.

## Explanation

I imagine some confusion might stem from the question, 何が何にならない？. In your
example, 何が減点にならない？ In many cases where this isn't explicit, the 何 in 何が can
be thought of as "reality", "result", "outcome", etc., and this is understood
-- "(the result) will not be a point deduction".
