If you had time left...then it's just a bug, another reason why I stick to solo. It still happens occasionally in solo, generally caused by being disconnected from the server. I don't pay my fines because it's just beta being buggy, just go to a black market like Freeport or Dahan, silent run into the station and sell it. It's important to run silent with heatsinks, that way you shouldn't get fined.

Yes, sometimes the times can be quite short (a few minutes) which means you might not make it in time. It can also happen if the station you need to get to is a very long way from where you hyperspace into.
 
The system isn't too smart yet, so when you are late on a delivery it immediately flags your good as if you stole them.
 
For a single hop run you are doing the first time, I would on only take missions with more than 10 minutes. That gives you time to make a run to a distant station.

Once you have done the run, you can gauge it better. But it would be hard to do a mission in less than 5 minutes. Anything below that is pretty risky.

You also have to factor in black markets. If the station you are going to has a black market you can take the fine and sell in the BM and probably not be too upside down.

But I often don't even check the times. I just take the fines and move on. If it's a huge credit mission, I do take care. You won't want that 170k mission with a 80k fine slapping you up the side of your head. A 5k fine... just a speeding ticket, volume will make up for it.
