Why do these contracts have such impossibly short deadlines?!

[TimKerbin]

KSP gives you 5 years to plant a flag on the Mun; 10 years to rescue someone in orbit of the Mun; 30 years to plant a flag on Ike....and yet only ONE YEAR to repair a rover on Moho?! It takes longer than that just to get there! However you choose to get to Moho, with or without a transfer window, it would still take you more than a year to get there which isn't the easiest target at the best of times.

You may be thinking that the game assumes you've already got a heavy Kerbal presence on and around Moho, therefore the mission is doable. But I would point out that even contracts that are based on and around Kerbin still give you more time than one year. All these "repair X on planet Y" missions have AT MOST a two year deadline, which just seems ridiculous. The only ones that can be done are on the Mun and Minmus; anything further afield is just crazy.

Squad, are you aware of this? Do you even play your own game?  I've been playing since 2013 and I've never seen contracts with such absurdly short deadlines. They're just not doable. You need to re-evaluate these mission types.

Apparently this was fixed in 1.11.1:

@TimKerbin are you sure you're running the latest version?
