Freelancer Artist: Specific Job ended early

So my Sim is a Freelance Artist. I'm not playing with any mods or anything. I took on a job to create characters for a video game... it required painting level 6 or 7... and was supposed to pay around $3,xxx simoleons. There are 2 possible issues here: Either the job ended 2 days earlier than it should have, OR  the deadline wasn't displaying properly. I know when I took the job, it seemed like it was really short (2 days?). I think I accepted it in the early hours of Thursday, but I'm not sure. Friday rolled around and in the wee hours it said I needed to wrap up my contract. So I pulled up the job window to see how much was left and it said Sunday at 2am, which was still 2 days away. Then by like 7am on Friday (it might have been 2am - she was asleep and it was going fast, so I have no idea the actual time) it told me I had failed! Unfortunately, once the job ends it's gone, so I don't have any record of which job it was. 

But to help you find the particular job, it was for - 2 character designs for a video game, payout was around $3,000 something.
There were 2 tasks: study materials and submit 2 character designs and have them accepted. (I was still in the editing phase of the 2nd one, but had completed the rest, in case that is relevant.)

Edit By Crinrict: Adjusted Title

    Seems to only have been that one so far. No, there was no computer purchase, and no, unfortunately I don't remember the name. I've seen some similar ones since then. ... It was probably either the "indie company" one or the "AAA" one?  Those are the ones that keep coming up that pay more than the rest, so they're the ones I've been doing most with this character.
    Your link sounds unrelated to mine. My sim wasn't working on job related tasks at all when it ended.

    Oh, side note, I'm doing the "1x1" challenge with this character, and she had failed the last two jobs immediately before that one, because I didn't realize any of them were going to require her to leave the house, which she's not allowed to do. So maybe it was weirdly related to that? Mmm. She failed the first and I think I cancelled the next one when I saw that it would be the same. Then this was third job (in that sequence, not third ever) and it ended early on it's own. I should have been able to finish that one.
