IDK thought that'd be a cool concept, like some guy is trying to change the past, but he can't get to the exact date he needs to, and so has to overshoot to ensure he doesn't pass it and has to deal with whatever time he shows up in.

    Not exactly what you're looking for but in Stargate SG1 they accidentally travel back in time due to some very specific circumstances involving wormhole travel and a solar flare. They try to replicate it to go back to their own time but end up overshooting due to their timing being slightly off. Since this is TV they luckily overshoot far enough that the tech exists to send them back to their original time.
