Feedback on companion missions expiry

The companion missions expiry seems like an unfortunate game design decision, especially when in a certain part of the game everything gets cramped together. Without any spoilers - at some point I had companion missions for Luco and Tel-Rea and a main story mission on the horizon. Everything perfectly doable on time. But then, Cly came and unless I reject and fail her mission, I am forced to do it. On top of that, the crisis mission came after. In the end, I am basically unable to do all companion missions in time, even when ignoring the crisis mission, despite the best effort and planning and it feels like the game is punishing me for something I was unable to reasonably foresee in time (because of forced Cly's mission). It would be better if the game simply forced to do the companion mission one after another on expiry, similarly as the main story missions are.
