Let's review:

-ED only adds an extra syllable when after a verb ending with T or D

want -> wan / ted
(1 syllable -> 2 syllables)

de / cide -> de / ci / ded
(2 syllables -> 3 syllables)

In all other cases, it does not add an extra syllable

miss -> missed ("misst")
(1 syllable -> 1 syllable)

re / ceive -> re / ceived
