Do I need updated documents to show at border control due to delayed trip?

Your question is unclear as to whether you actually now have a UK visa or not.
If you do not have a valid UK visa when it comes time to fly to the UK (or take the first or an interim flight on your itinerary towards the UK), the airline will not allow you to board. The airline won't care about the leave letter or invitation letter, but will notice and act on whether you possess (and will arrive in the UK with) a valid UK visa allowing your entry into the UK at that time.
Remember too that you must comply with whatever covid and health-related requirements (including quarantine) imposed on travelers arriving in the UK. These requirements change frequently, and vary between the individual countries within the UK (i.e., England, Scotland, Wales).
When you land in the UK, the UK Immigration officer will see the difference in dates between what you specified in your application (Sept 6 to Sept 30) and what might then be two weeks later (perhaps Sept 20 - Oct 15). The officer will certainly want to know if your employer and the person inviting you agree with the new dates, and may ask why the dates changed. Be prepared to answer the question; there's nothing wrong with a date change - plans do change in the real world - but even if you then have an updated visa, the officer may want to know what caused the change in dates.
Most importantly, prepare yourself for your landing interview by obtaining new letters from both your employer and the person inviting you, which letters reflect the actual dates of your travel. Have these letters printed out, and carry them with you.

I cleared my immigration at LHR yesterday and luckily they did not ask me any questions regarding the change in travel dates. I did kept all the updated documents as mentioned by DavidSupportsMonica.
I was asked the following questions by the immigration officers.
- What is the purpose of your visit
- How long have you known your gf
- How long are you planning to stay
- What does she do in UK?
