We may also need some time to get this done, May I know if there is a hard deadline for it ? vs We may also need some time to get this done, Shall I know if there is a hard deadline for it ?

Both phrases are correct, but the first one is more commonly used in English. The use of 'may I know' is more formal and less common than 'can I know'. Therefore, the first phrase is more appropriate for most situations.
