Hi,
Right now Daggerfall Unity does not accurately emulate quest clocks like classic, but uses conservative overestimations instead.
Some reverse engineering effort has been done to better understand how classic implements clocks, but because of the risk related to changing clocks implementation, Daggerfall Unity will probably stay as-is until 1.0 release, at least.

That's certainly not specific to 0.10.2, I don't think anything related to clocks was changed lately.
Having one quest around just waiting to expire is not a big deal, say if you want to start another quest from the same guild you can just go to the next town; It only holds one specific questor.

What quests have a long delay before they expire?

Completed quests should disappear from the log when you finish them. If you're talking about accepting quests and leaving them undone, then yes they'll remain.

If you go into your F5 screen, then click on Affiliations, it should show your reputation with each guild you're a part of.

That rep value was only put there to aid in debugging and I still plan to remove it before DFU gets released, but maybe there's an argument to be made for it to stay.

I really like being able to see your faction rep values in the Affiliations pop-up, though I realize many might see this as a "cheat". Yet another DFU selectable option, maybe? :)
