It gave you plenty of time to spare - provided you knew exactly what to do. But in order to know what to do you had to repeatedly save, experiment, discover how to proceed, load save, complete the proper procedure, save again, rinse and repeat. This was the only way you could be assured of not running out of time near the end and having to replay the whole game if they wanted to complete it successfully. I remember reading a post in here from someone who had completed almost the whole game - and done it without help from a walkthorugh - but who ran out of time just before the end of the game. Some reward for completing that difficult thing on your own. :p
