'übergeben' and 'abgegeben' are closely related because both can express that something goes to a person or office. The important difference is the part of speech: 'übergeben' is a verb and describes the action. 'abgegeben' is an adjective or participle and describes the state afterward: something has already been submitted, handed over, or left somewhere. Learners may confuse the words because both occur in situations involving forms, assignments, or objects. For the action, you say 'etwas übergeben' (to hand something over). For the result, you say 'die abgegebene Arbeit' (the submitted assignment) or 'die Arbeit ist abgegeben' (the assignment has been handed in).
