I have received mulitple Charity Engine Tasks from the Charity Engine Project, that aprox. 200,000 GFLOPs, taking an average of 20 hours for one task to complete. But, the report deadline has been two hours and some change from when I receive the task.
The application you are running is actually set up to terminate after about 1 hour, so deadline of 2 hours should be reasonable.
Even if the task runs for a longer period of time and cannot complete before deadline, we also accept partial results. And if the server thinks that there is no point in you completing the task, it will cancel the task so that you do not waste CPU time - but again, you will be credited for the job done.

Is this just me or is this an universal problem.

I have a similiar problem but much much longer WU
It is normal; you will see that the task completes in 1 hour, even though BOINC for some reason estimates much longer task duration.
Okay then but still, I have got 0 credits so far.
Thank you, there really was an issue. You should now start seeing credits appear on your account as you process work.
