I have also searched and tried different solutions. The only thing I could
come up with was the following ugly workaround:

\version "2.8.0"
<<
 \relative c'{c ( e d f g2 ) g }
 \addlyrics { \markup { Long \hspace #1.0 } __ word }
>>

For example, I tried to add a space at the end of the word using
"Long  " or Long_ but it seems that LilyPond is "clever" enough to
remove any space at the beginning or end of a syllable. As far as I
can see from the implementation, this spacing is really hard-coded
into the program. Maybe http://lilypond.org/web/sponsor/ is the
best solution?

Is it possible to tweak lyric-extender to increase horizontal space between
extender and previous syllable?  The default spacing is very tight.  Have
looked through manual, can't find an answer.
