you should use the verb to take in both sentences.
1- she took her time (it means she didn �t hurry)
2- you have to take your chance.

For the first sentence, I think we should use �took � and for the second one � take � ;)

1st one is took but for the 2nd one, I think have a chance means (şanslı olmak) in Turkish and take a chance [on somebody] means (birine şans vermek). it reminded me of the song of abba: take a chance on me :)

In my opinion, first one is "took" and second one should be provided more context to say that "take" or "have"

The first is "took" and the second is definitely "take", because we don �t use "have a chance" with "have to". To have a chance means to have the possibility, so there can �t be an obligation for it.
