Newcomer / Intro How do you change the time in game?

FD said that the comms panel time was a bug, which (I think) was fixed in 2.4.
I just mentally subtract a few hours from the displayed time; the actual number varies, depending on daylight savings time. If that's too much effort, put a clock, phone, or watch near your system.
The reason that the local time is not shown is because you really need game-time for in-game meetings. Back when I was doing the Distant Worlds Exploration, the ship clock had not yet been implemented and I missed several rendezvous because I didn't get the timing right.
The current clock is a big quality-of-life improvement, but I would still like to see a second "local time" clock in-game.

As the clock cannot be changed, if it is a problem it can be deactivated.
We usually only see this when daylight savings time starts, the crop of "my clock is wrong" posts is a sure sign that summer is on the way (a bit like hearing the first oo - rather apt too).
@OP - E D, like aviation (amongst others) in the real world, uses UTC so that a consistent time is used world-wide (galaxy-wide) for co-ordination and scheduling. If you have trouble adding or subtracting 12, then a little desk clock might come in handy (spare a thought for the poor souls that have a half-hour in their TZ difference).

Great! That's good to know. It's an easy way to check the local time in-game.
