From my experience, any time a project isn’t on time, something like this happens from someone up high. And guess what? They are rarely “on time”. The solution is adjusting the definition of “on time”, whether it is cutting the scope of the project, better estimation, or conveying the scope and velocity during the project. Usually this falls on senior/leads/management, but it is a good skill to learn as a junior.

Don’t sweat it. The real world sometimes recognizes your effort, and sometimes beats you down and gaslights. You know the effort you put in, and that’s what matters. Get experience, and if it continues, hop somewhere else after a year or two. Get a nice pay bump. Win-win.
