No, a "recurring deadline" means that on the classic project management tradeoff of scope-time-resources(+quality?) you consider that a fixed scope MUST be delivered by a fixed deadline, and any variation means that you may (have to) spend more effort or dump quality to achieve that; but a "recurring habit" is an approach that you devote a certain systematic amount of effort+quality by the deadline but expect some variation in how much results will be achieved that.
