Just failed a contract - no idea why

[RocketBlam]

I had a contract to test the "Twitch" engine at Duna. Unfortunately I don't know the duration of the contract, because it doesn't say in the Failed Contract description. However, the only thing it could be, as far as I know, is that I exceeded the duration. However, I'm only in Year 8 of my whole campaign. These contracts typically last for 10-20 years, and the absolute max that I could have accepted it is about 3 years ago. I just don't get it.

It would be great if you could show us that duration in the Failed Contract area, or the reason the contract failed.

There are sometimes errors in contract system. I made station on Solar orbit. Game did not accept it because it did not detect viewing cupola.

In instances like this I think it's fair to just alt+F12 and autocomplete.

I had a "test structural pylon landed at Duna" with a 4-year duration, which I stupidly accepted at the beginning of year 2 then panicked about when I realised I'd be only just able to get a mission off in time to do it.
