I'm amazed. The same assignment is sent to one computer and takes 20 days, and it's considered valid and on time, while the same assignment is sent to another computer and takes 13 DAYS AND IS OUT OF TIME.

I see your task was returned after a valid one of another volunteer was returned, although that one took 20 days.
Your result was returned too late (after the 10 days deadline) AND after above mentioned valid one. It's how BOINC works.

It works terribly, because the deadline is very short for simulation tasks. Many tasks take more than 10 days, easily reaching 13 days(out time) even with the CPU working 24 hours a day, and the delivery time is less than the task execution time.

I know the reason, before gave boinc the ability to store 3 days in tasks. That means it starts tasks 3 days late, now I give it 0.20 days maximum.
