Yes, as far as I can see, org-todo uses the TIME argument of
org-add-planning-info for the org-extend-today-until feature, but
there's not a way for the caller to directly specify the timestamp.

Something along those lines would probably be the most straightforward.
Light testing with the command below suggests overriding current-time is
sufficient:
(defun my-org-todo-time-machine ()
(interactive)
(cl-letf (((symbol-function 'current-time)
(lambda ()
(apply #'encode-time (org-parse-time-string
"2019-11-27 Mi 16:44")))))
(call-interactively #'org-todo)))
