What do you mean by "no transfer windows"?

So what timestamp are players supposed to start at? Do you mean the time the solar system is at the start of a new game (ie 0 days 0 hours)?

It just means not at a time were Eve is about 40 degrees behind Kerbin

So is 39 degrees fine? How about 38? 36? 30? etc?

The reason why I am asking is because the specific time window that is used changes the challenge anywhere from completely impossible to slightly harder than a normal eve trip.

Is there a time limit for mission duration? Because if not, surely you can just launch into an orbit that intersects Eve's and wait? You'll get an encounter sooner or later…

Less than 1-3 hours in real time
