Hyperjump oddity.

I shall have a go later.Many Thanks Commander!
What might have happened is that you plotted your route and THEN increased the mass of your ship (which reduces your jump range) by collecting cargo (or by being given cargo after accepting a mission). If you re-open the galaxy map it should automatically re-plot the route according to your current mass.
Even adding some fuel can do this.
Great points made by others in this thread already, so thank you everyone.
Your ship's jump ranges will display laden (full cargo) and unladen, so always be mindful of this. Also outfitting and upgrading modules on your ship affects its overall mass. If you still have issues even after considering all of this, don't hesitate to reach out again.

The only reason to check the map prior to accepting should be to give you a rough idea. Never actually plot the corse until after you have accepted it. The weight of the cargo is a major factor in the time it takes. I just learned by doing it the wrong way. Took me an hour and a half to go 14ly with only two jumps. Your fsd can't handle the hyper gump 2hen your ship is to ladened down.
Why when I accept a mission that states for instance 10ly and my ship has a jump range of 12 do I have to make two and sometimes three 7 to 10 ly jumps. I can understand being detoured because of weigh or low bridges, dams broke, dead guy in the road or something. But even when all I have is a document. I can see where I am in relationship to where I gotta go and even though it's a short little hop, I end up doing two or more hyperjumps to get to it. For a total of 40ly's not the ten they said it was going to be. I never plot a course empty. My fuel is always topped off and the cargo is on board.
It's ironic that some short hops pay waaaaay better than some long one do.
I generally hang at the board for up to a real half hour selecting various loads. Anything of 100,000, is put on. Anything matching where I am going gets put on. My record to date is 15 missions, 8 stops, made a million in less than an hour.

Also, when using the Galaxy Map to plot a route, make sure that you set your routes to "Fastest", so you don't end up plotting a 30ly route with 5 jumps because it sends you through six systems that are 5ly away from one another in route to your final destination. I think that it defaults to the "Economy" route, if I am recalling the name correctly. Set the route to "Fastest", I believe it is the second tab, so you take the most direct path to your final route. While your Transactions tab may include and make available systems that are within your jump range, it does not compensate for fuel jump limitations, so you almost always want to use the Galaxy Map to plot routes if you are planning to jump further than systems that are close to your max jump range. Take into consideration that cargo on your ship has a laden effect that will also reduce your overall jump range capacity. fly safe.
Perhaps you have your navigation on "economical" and not on "fastest" route?
Edit: ah, I answered before seeing the same was already said, apologies.
If you stop mid-route to do some exploration, targetting local bodies in order to scan them .... when you've finished, just use the "target next system in route" keybinding to get back on to your route.
