"here's a bunch of problems we have with your work... oh, and we're having trouble finding you hours..." I think your analysis is correct.
It seems like OP just makes much more complicated solutions than necessary. I've had coworkers that would spend two days developing some fancy solution using all kind of complicated algorithms and technologies that honestly just didn't NEED that level of engineering (and no real benefit was seen from doing it). While a more robust solution is TECHNICALLY better, the overhead it costs really doesn't account for that in many cases.
