Unlike the last variant, the first two imply there was some quantity of work and it was all completed. I don't really see the difference between the two though

I did the work for that last week. 2. I proceeded to do the work for that last week. Sentence 2 strikes me as questionably grammatical. It needs to be proceeding from something in the context.
