To reproduce:
- Go to Residential meeting hall to get mission
- Decline the mission
- Go and destroy supposedly targeted station and get the CO2 Scrubbers
- Go back to residential and accept the mission
- Right after undock, the station tells you to hurry up
- When docking, the station master tells it's already too late

I'm guessing this because the mission timer start ticking after mission is created, not when the mission is accepted.
