Key Points
作成 means creating or preparing something into finished form
With レポート, it refers to producing the report as a completed piece of work.
Japanese comfortably says レポート作成 even though English usually says write a report.
レポート作成が残ってます marks an unfinished task
〜が残ってます means something still remains to be done.
困りましたわ and 〜のに give the line a complaining tone.
困りましたわ sounds refined and flustered rather than bluntly upset.
The sentence-final 〜のに expresses frustration because she still has this obligation hanging over her.
